Frase
From Latin phrasis, from Greek phrásis, from phrázo (I explain, I make understood)
A frase (phrase) is a group of words that expresses a single idea. Frases can be made of two or more words. They do not contain a verbo (verb — the word that expresses an action or state). The term can also be used as a synonym for oración (sentence).
