Etymology
The word sectionalization comes from section, a word that comes from a root meaning 'to cut', so imagine cutting a cake into pieces. The ending -ization means the 'act or process' of doing something, so sectionalization is the process of dividing something into sections or parts, for example splitting a power grid into sections to prevent a big blackout.
