slicing
Dividing with blade
Slicing is cutting into thin, flat pieces: slicing bread, slicing tomatoes.
The term extends to any smooth, sweeping cut through something: The boat sliced through the water.
In golf and tennis, slicing produces a shot that curves away from a straight path.
In computing, slicing extracts a portion of a sequence—a slice of an array or string.
