zone
Marked-off territory section
A zone is a geographic or notional space set aside for a purpose.
The euro is the accepted currency in the Euro zone; a war zone is the site of a military conflict.
Your comfort zone is the state of mind in which you are not stressed.
Time zones divide the world into logical divisions for designating clock time.
In planning, to zone an area is to designate it for a particular purpose, such as housing, businesses, or industry.
To zone out, in slang, is to stop paying attention.
