untranslatable
(Refers to a specific segment in the economy which doesn’t translate to a single term in general usage.)
A 'sector' is a distinct part or division of a larger system, organization, or area, often used to classify and differentiate various segments of economic, social, or spatial fields. The term can refer to a physical part, like a section of land, or an abstract division, such as sectors of the economy related to different industries. The concept of a sector is derived from the Latin 'sectorem', meaning 'to cut', indicating a division or segment of something whole.
