'been broken' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'notices a part' is the wordplay.
'a part' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'parts of' mean this).
'notices' with letters rearranged gives 'SECTION'.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for section that I've seen before include "Subdivision of a newspaper" , "Distinct part" , "Cut" , "Segment" , "unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
