Sum of parts. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:45, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The sum is adverb, parts are preposition and noun, so what's the problem? And how it differs from words like ab initio, ab absurdo? —Игорь Тълкачь (talk) 06:03, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That's simply how grammar works, but it does not make it less the sum of its parts. It differs from because that is a phrase used in English, and it is an English entry. If it were a Latin entry, it would have to be deleted. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:20, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, probably the entry should be deleted. But something remains unclear. Particularly, if it was single-word, would it be regarded as sum of parts?—Игорь Тълкачь (talk) 06:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No. The current consensus is that a single word (depending on how each language defines a "word") cannot be the sum of its parts. For Slavic languages, that usually means that spaces delimit words. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:12, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
