subdivisions
Parts within parts
Subdivisions are parts created when something larger is divided, or the act of dividing itself.
The word appears most often in reference to land development: a subdivision is a tract of land that has been divided into individual lots for building homes, and by extension, the residential neighborhood that results.
They moved to a subdivision outside the city.
In other contexts, subdivisions are simply smaller units within a larger category or organization, such as administrative subdivisions of a country or subdivisions within a company.
