the.com/part

Always smaller than the whole, secretly the thing that makes the whole work.

means A piece or portion of something larger, whether a fragment of an object, a role someone plays, or a share in some activity.

from From Latin 'pars' (genitive 'partis'), meaning a piece, share, or portion, which slipped into Old French as 'part' and then into English. The same root spawned a whole family — 'portion,' 'particle,' 'partner,' 'party,' and 'depart' (literally to divide and go your separate way) — all of them little splinters of that one ancient word for a share of the whole.
