Definition: "Division"

This is a charade with a container - multiple word parts are combined, with one part inserted inside another to build the answer.

Look for 'say' (meaning 'for example') to give you letters, find a word for 'soldiers', and insert it into an abbreviation for 'street'.

Answer: SEGMENT | EG (say, meaning 'for example') + MEN (soldiers) inserted into ST (street) gives S-EG+MEN-T = SEGMENT
