Three short podcasts about “Segment”. Listen with the interactive player.

Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning

Narrator: Today's word is "Segment" — noun, pronounced /ˈsɛɡmənt/, with the stress on "seg".

Narrator: A segment is a distinct part or section of something larger.

Narrator: In plain English, a segment is a piece of a whole — like a segment of an orange, or a market segment.

Narrator: It comes from the Latin segmentum, meaning a piece cut off, from secare, to cut.

Narrator: "A market segment" describes a distinct group of customers with similar needs.

Narrator: It differs from section because segment implies a natural division, whereas section can be an arbitrary cut.

Narrator: "A segment of an orange" is a sense meaning one of the natural divisions of the fruit.

Narrator: Business, biology, geometry, media and marketing all rely on the word segment.

Narrator: So remember: a segment is a cut piece, from the Latin for a piece cut off.
