FRAGMENT Meaning and Definition

1. A fragment, in its noun form, is defined as a small, incomplete or isolated portion or piece that has been separated or broken off from a whole. It refers to something that is either the remains of a larger entity or is a part of a bigger whole that has been divided or fragmented into smaller parts. Fragments can be physical objects like broken glass or disintegrated rocks, where they represent only a part of the original structure. In a metaphorical sense, a fragment can also refer to incomplete or disconnected ideas, thoughts, or sentences. This occurs when a piece of information or concept is isolated from its larger context, rendering it insufficient, unintelligible, or inconclusive.

   Furthermore, "fragment" can also serve as a verb, meaning to break, separate, or divide into fragments or smaller parts. This action can involve physically breaking an object into pieces or figuratively separating ideas or concepts. When something is fragmented, it is often characterized as scattered, disjointed, or lacking cohesion. Fragmentation can occur naturally as a result of physical forces or as a deliberate act, such as intentionally breaking an object into smaller fragments. In the realm of technology, fragmentation can refer to the division of data or software into smaller units, limiting interoperability and creating complexity.

2. A part broken off; a small detached portion; an imperfect part.
