Literally 'section', used as in 'passage', 'sketch' and then figuratively


Explanation:
This derives from performance art, esp. stand-up comedy. Originally it meant a particular passage/bit, e.g. a sketch. It was borrowed to mean any set of circumstances or situation that one needs to think about in order to understand it, understand the joke etc.
