segmenting
Breaking into pieces
Segmenting is dividing something into distinct parts or sections.
Markets are segmented by demographic, products by price point, audiences by interest: We're segmenting customers by purchase history.
In linguistics and audio processing, segmenting breaks continuous speech into identifiable units.
The word implies deliberate division for analysis or targeting.
