Etymology

The term 'sectoring' derives from the word 'sector', which has Latin origins. The Latin term 'sectorem' meaning 'to cut' or 'to divide' evolved into the term 'sector' in Middle English, referring to a part or division of a larger entity. In business terminology, the concept became popular in the late 20th century as firms began applying analytical methods to market research and strategic planning. The increasing complexity of markets necessitated a more systematic approach to understanding consumer behavior and industry trends, further popularizing the term 'sectoring'. Over time, this term has evolved to encompass various fields, including economics, urban development, and technology.
