sekcje

Sekcje is a Polish term meaning sections or divisions of a larger whole. The word derives from Latin sectio, through the Polish form sekcja, and is used across different contexts to denote a part that has a specific function, focus, or scope within a system, document, or organization.

In organizational and institutional contexts, sekcje designate specialized subunits within a larger body, such as a sports club having sekcje sportowe for different disciplines or a university student association containing sekcje naukowe or sekcje kulturalne. These units typically have their own leadership, activities, and sometimes budget, while remaining part of the parent organization.

In legal, administrative, and textual contexts, sekcja refers to a subdivision of a document, code, or statute, such as sekcja 5 kodeksu. In publishing or academic works, sekcja can denote a subdivision within a larger work, often translated as a subsection or section.

In medicine, sekcja zwłok is the autopsy, an examination of a deceased body to determine cause of death or study pathology. The term is used in clinical and forensic settings and is a standard expression in Polish.

Other uses include architectural or construction contexts, where sekcja may describe a defined part or module of a building or project, though terminology can vary by field. The precise meaning of sekcje depends on the context and accompanying descriptors that clarify its scope, such as sekcja sportowa, sekcja naukowa, or sekcja autopsyjna.
