The elements combined in coordination are called coordinands.

- coordinated unit
Origin
The term coordinand was apparently coined by R.M.W. Dixon and used, for instance, in his grammar of Fijian (Dixon 1988:161). It was taken up by Haspelmath (2004) and Haspelmath (2007).
- "Coordinand: This term is introduced in the present chapter for the units that are combined in a coordinate construction (cf. Dixon 1988:161, where I have found this term used in the same sense). There is no traditional term for this concept. Dik (1968) uses the term term (of a coordination). Sometimes the term conjunct is used as a synonym of coordinand (just as conjunction is sometimes used as a synonym of coordination), but this is confusing and should be avoided." (Haspelmath 2007:50)
