Social Sciences - Government / Politics / "Componente"-Español (Colombia)
Spanish term or phrase: Componente
Tengo una duda en relación a la palabra "componente" en este contexto:

-la iniciativa de ayudas económicas se dividía en dos "componentes"...

El significado de "componente" en español (de España) no termina de casar con esta frase. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

  -> Nor do I. Thanks Phil.
neutral  Simon Bruni: one reason why "components" might be avoided is that (as words of Latin origin often do in English) it often occupies a slightly higher register than it does in Spanish // I'm not saying it's incorrect! Merely justifying the use of a less "technical" term
