Root Breakdown
Root-derivedsect (cut) + -ion (act/result) = 'a cut, or the part left by a cut.' That single image covers all its uses: a section of a book or law is a part cut out of the whole; a section of a city is a divided-off area; a cross-section is what you'd see if you cut straight through; and in medicine, to section is literally to cut.
