• Synonym段だんNeutralPolysemous: steps, tiers, levels, dan ranks — and paragraphs too. 「段落」 is the specific word for a paragraph of prose or a pause where a matter is wrapped up, as in 「一段落」.
• Synonym節せつNeutralA section one level below a chapter, as in 「第三章第二節」; stresses a book's hierarchy rather than a paragraph of prose.
• SynonymパラグラフNeutralLoanword meaning paragraph, interchangeable with 「段落」; common in writing instruction and talk about English composition.

Use 「段落」 for a self-contained passage of a text, and for a matter reaching a stopping point, as in 「一段落」. For a section within a chapter say 「節」; as a writing term, especially for English composition, 「パラグラフ」 is the usual choice.
