           vertically; a cross or transverse section (b), as cut
           crosswise and vertically; and a horizontal section (c),
           as cut through its center horizontally. Oblique
           sections are made at various angles. In architecture, a

        used for study under the microscope.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Part; portion; division.
  
     Usage: Section, Part. The English more commonly apply the
            word section to a part or portion of a body of men;
            as, a section of the clergy, a small section of the
            Whigs, etc. In the United States this use is less
            common, but another use, unknown or but little known
            in England, is very frequent, as in the phrases ``the
            eastern section of our country,'' etc., the same sense
            being also given to the adjective sectional; as,
            sectional feelings, interests, etc.
