Compartmentalization is the act — or the result — of cutting a life, a job, or a set of ideas into separate boxes, so that one box does not spill into another. Companies use it for work: different teams, different files, different rooms. People also use it for feelings: you keep home-worry in one place and work-worry in another, so you can still function. That second use is very common, and it can sound slightly psychological or business-like. Some people praise it as self-control; some think it is a way of not facing things. The word itself is the noun (the dividing, or the system of boxes), not the action word. Though actually the tidy dictionary picture is physical rooms; in real talk the feeling-boxes sense may be the one you meet first.
區隔化、分門別類（分成互不干擾的區塊；也常指情緒或生活上的區隔）
組成From compartmentalize + -ation (the act or result). Under that: compartment (a separate box or section) + -al + -ize (to put into compartments).
