A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “department” refers to a distinct division or unit within an organization, government agency, or institution that is responsible for carrying out specific functions or tasks. It may have its own authority, responsibilities, and resources, and is typically headed by a department head or director.
Example: The Department of Justice is responsible for upholding the law and ensuring justice is served.
