segments
Parts of wholes
Segments are distinct parts or sections of something larger.
An orange separates into segments; a worm's body consists of segments.
Market segments divide consumers into groups; a news program has segments between commercial breaks.
To segment is to divide into such parts: The company segmented its customer base by age and income.
In geometry, a segment is a portion of a line between two points.
