• constituent

  1. An element of a word or construction (Ex.: in “they painted signs” the main elements they and painted signs are called immediate constituents; the further morphologically indivisible elements they, paint, -ed, sign, and -s are called ultimate constituents)
  2. One that authorizes another to act as a representative; a client.
  3. A constituent part; a component.

• factor

  1. Any of the circumstances, conditions, etc. that bring about a result; element or constituent that makes a thing what it is
  2. A person who carries on business transactions for another; commission merchant; agent for the sale of goods entrusted to his possession
  3. A substance found in the body, such as a protein, that is essential to a biological process. For example, growth factors are needed for proper cell growth and development.
