Morphology

multisector = sector (transparent) = multi + sector

The meaning is directly compositional: 'multi-' means several or many, and 'sector' means an area or field of activity.

Etymology

Multisector comes from multi- meaning 'many' and sector meaning 'area' or 'part'. So a multisector plan is one that works across many different areas at the same time.
