Proceedsby

Proceedsby is not a standard term in English and does not appear as a recognized entry in major dictionaries. In practice, it typically results from a typographical error, the concatenation of two words, or the use of a custom identifier in data sets or software rather than a defined lexical item.

In English, proceeds is a noun meaning funds obtained from an event or activity, and common prepositions are from and of. The phrase proceeds by is rare and generally avoided in formal writing, where proceeds from or proceeds of are preferred. For example, correct usage includes “the proceeds from the auction” or “the proceeds of the fundraising campaign.” When encountered as a single word, proceedsby should be treated as nonstandard unless the context clearly indicates a specific technical meaning or a data label.

If proceedsby appears in text, determine its intended meaning: it is most likely a misspelling or a misstructure, a concatenation error, or a project-specific identifier. In scholarly or professional writing, replace it with the conventional phrase (proceeds from/of) or restructure the sentence to convey the intended meaning clearly. If used as a programming or data label, apply standard naming conventions, such as proceeds_by_sale or proceedsBySale, and document its purpose for readers.
