Etymology

The word 'sectional' derives from the Latin word 'sectio,' meaning 'a cutting' or 'a division,' combined with the English suffix '-al,' which transforms nouns into adjectives. The term has evolved to refer specifically to things that are divided into parts. Its usage can be traced back to the 18th century when furniture started to be designed with modular sections, enabling more flexible arrangements in living spaces. Over time, the concept of 'sectional' expanded beyond furniture, becoming widely used in organizational contexts, educational settings, and various disciplines, denoting a form or approach that is separated into distinct parts or sections.
