英文词源

section: section: [16] Section is one of a wide range of English words that go back to Latin secāre ‘cut’. Others include bisect [17], dissect [17], insect, intersect [17], secateurs [19], sector [16], and segment [16]. It goes back ultimately to the Indo- European base *sek- ‘cut’, which also produced English saw, scythe, sedge, and sickle. The immediate source of section itself was the Latin derivative sectiō ‘cutting’.
=> bisect, dissect, insect, saw, scythe, secateurs, sedge, segment, sickle
