If you say that a compound: a thing, a meaning, what already follows, and vada (वद), then.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. pratiṣedhaḥ (प्रतिषेधः) from 10.8.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: artha-prāpta-vada (अर्थ-प्राप्त-वद) + iti (इति) + cet (चेत्)
