adposition - n., (ling.) a word or phrase that forms a single phrase with a complement of a noun or noun phrase, which indicates how the phrase relates to the rest of the clause.


The general term for prepositions and postpositions. There are also circumpositions, but they are very fuzzy beasts. See Wikipedia for more. From Latin roots.
