elementenwaaruit

Elementenwaaruit is a Dutch compound phrase meaning “the elements from which” or “the components that constitute” something. It is formed from the noun elementen (elements or constituent parts) and the prepositional phrase waaruit (wherefrom). In Dutch usage the phrase appears in contexts where an analytic description of a whole is required, such as in scientific texts, engineering reports, culinary descriptions, or cultural analyses.

The construction blends nouns and prepositions in a way that is typical for Dutch compound expressions. A comparable English structure would be “constituent elements of” or “components from.” Dutch speakers often use the phrase in formal writing: “De elementen waaruit het water bestaat” (the elements from which water is made). In less formal speech one may find simpler structures such as “de onderdelen waarvoor” or “de samenstellende elementen van.”

In technical disciplines the phrase serves to enumerate subparts of a system. For instance, in chemistry one might refer to “de elementen waaruit een verbinding bestaat” (the elements that compose a compound). In information technology, a developer might write “de bestanden waaruit een package bestaat” to indicate source files.

The term does not have a separate lexical entry in the Dutch dictionary; it is a derived phrase used descriptively. It is common in academic and analytic texts rather than everyday conversation. Its functional value lies in precise enumeration and hierarchical description, enabling readers to see the building blocks of a complex entity.
