aspect

Side to consider

Aspect is a particular part, feature, or angle of something: We need to consider every aspect of the proposal.

The word emphasizes one element among many that together make up a whole.

In astrology, aspect refers to the angular relationship between celestial bodies.

In grammar, aspect describes how a verb expresses the flow of time—whether an action is completed, ongoing, or repeated.
