cubicle — a small partitioned-off area of a room, for example one containing a bed in a dwelling or one containing a desk in an office

a businesswoman sits at her computer desk surrounded by low fabric-covered walls on three sides. She types on her keyboard while papers and office supplies are organized within her small enclosed space. The partition walls create a private area that separates her from identical workspaces visible in the background. Other employees work at their own similarly partitioned desks, each person contained within their own small sectioned-off area. A supervisor walks between the rows of divided workspaces checking on different employees. a small partitioned-off area of a room containing a desk in an office
