Etymology
The root ج-ز-أ carries the sense of dividing something into portions. From it Arabic forms جُزْء (juzʼ), meaning a part or portion of a whole. Adding the nisba suffix ـِيّ, which turns a noun into a relational adjective meaning 'of or pertaining to,' produces جُزْئِيّ, literally 'part-like,' hence 'partial.'
