<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">portions</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(segment is a kind of portion)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for segments that I've seen before include "Nets gems in separate parts" , "Parts, pieces, portions" , "Divides or splits up" , "'Sections, pieces (8)'" , "Parts or pieces that fit with others" .)
