sectionalize

/sˈɛkʃənəlˌaɪz/ verb

To divide into sections.

Word Origin From Latin 'secare' meaning 'to cut' — a section is literally a piece cut off. Sectionalize then means to divide into cut pieces, to compartmentalize. The same cutting root gives us dissect (cut apart), bisect (cut in two), and insect (a creature with a cut-in body).
