Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

no, it doesn't literally mean that

That doesn't work, a preposition precedes a noun/pronoun. (Relative pronouns are an exception as they include a preposition.)

[timber bloom]

the word "pourquoi" has undergone what is called grammaticalization in linguistics
the component parts of the word are no longer separable so you can't really try to apply A + B = C types of logic to it, it just don't work

to use an example from what I just wrote, just because the word "undergo" is made up of "under" and "go" doesn't mean that we can't somehow say "go under" for the same meaning, for instance
