Parse , Parsimony

To me to parse something is to chop it into parts.  So imagine you have a knife and you have someones name and phone number written down on a piece of paper.

So say you wanted to separate the pieces of data (name and phone number).  You would parse it!  You could parse it further piece the data into (last name, first name, and phone number).

Like parse has to deal with separating things parsimoney is an unwillingness to spend money.  It means to be careful to parse your money.

grammar : to divide (a sentence) into grammatical parts and identify the parts and their relations to each other

: to study (something) by looking at its parts closely
