I don't understand (◞‸◟) It's basically saying that we've gotten a glimpse of Karin, who is also from the Uzumaki clan, using a fragment of the jutsu.

The term can also be translated as "a glimpse" or "a portion," at any rate it means that it's not the "whole thing." Her sealing chains are just an incomplete, rudimentary version of the jutsu.

The term was also used in the shinobi compendium, explaining that the Yin and Yang Release hiden jutsu by various clans are only a "fragment" of the original Yin-Yang Release (this actually probably applies to all applications of Yin and Yang in the basic non-elemental ninjutsu, not just hiden jutsu).
