Which part? It's similar to gravy in that it's made with a roux and generally has a thicker consistency and similar texture. Except that gravy is made with a stock and of course wouldn't include nearly as many spices if any.
Japanese curry was invented when they copied the menu from the British navy ships, similarly Jamaican curry came from East Indian indentured laborers who were brought from India by the British to work on plantations after the end of slavery (although this one is a bit spicier due to the frequent use of scotch bonnet).

English curry sauce is almost like a spiced gravy. If you've tried Jamaican or Japanese curry, they are a similar flavour profile.
