Etymology

The word 'sectoral' originates from the late Latin word 'sectore,' derived from 'sectus,' which means 'to cut' or 'a division.' In its earliest examples, it was used to describe physical divisions or segments of various contexts. Over time, especially with the rise of economic and social sciences in the 19th and 20th centuries, 'sectoral' became more associated with the economy and industries. It began to enter the vocabulary of economists, policymakers, and analysts to discuss and categorize economic activities and labor markets into distinct sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The prefix 'sector-' solidifies its meaning rooted in division, highlighting how various parts contribute dynamically to the whole economy.
