Dexplicacions

D'explicacions is the Catalan contraction of "de explicacions," meaning "of explanations." It is not a standalone concept in itself but a common prepositional phrase used to indicate possession, relation, or source of explanations. When written in Catalan, the preposition de before a vowel elides to d', so the correct form is d'explicacions rather than dexplicacions.

Etymology and orthography: The phrase combines the preposition de with the plural noun explicacions (the plural of explicació, explanation). The elision rule in Catalan creates the contracted form d'explicacions, which is standard in both formal and informal writing. An unaccented or apostrophe-less variant like dexplicaçons is not correct in Catalan.

Usage: D'explicacions appears in noun phrases and clauses that denote a relationship to explanations. Examples include phrases such as "un conjunt d'explicacions" (a set of explanations) and "la necessitat d'explicacions" (the need for explanations). It also functions similarly to other possessive or relational constructions, adapting to adjectives or determiners as in "explicacions detallades" (detailed explanations) or "explicacions alternatives" (alternative explanations).

Context and note: D'explicacions is a routine grammatical form in Catalan, not a specialized term. Its usage reflects standard Catalan syntax for expressing 'of explanations', and it should not be confused with dedicated concepts or fields unless used in a specific textual context.
