Sanskrit does to language what zero does to counting. A dictionary language stores its vocabulary as inventory: English accumulates words and lists them, on the order of 170,000 in current use. Sanskrit runs the other way: the dhātupāṭha धातुपाठ lists the semantic atoms — 2,168 dhātavaḥ; upasargāḥ उपसर्गाः and pratyayāḥ प्रत्ययाः attach to them; the verb-grids inflect them; samāsa समास composes them — and a compound can itself become a member of the next. The system generates words rather than storing them. A conservative count of the first-pass grammatical space already runs past twenty million words before a single compound is formed, and compounding adds no ceiling.note Sanskrit is a word-engine.
Saoirse's comment After "Sanskrit runs the other way", it might be nice to insert a simplified introduction to a complex sentence. For a rudimentary example- "visualize an atom. different atoms attach themselves (prefix and suffix) to it, and it becomes a unique molecule. This molecule forms bonds with another to create a compound". And then the complex sentence can ensue. It helps the reader not break their concntration

Patañjali’s Mahābhāṣya uses this pair canonically
It would help if there is a shloka that describes this usage by Patanjali
केषां शब्दानाम् ? लौकिकानां वैदिकानां च । तत्र लौकिकासु तावद् — गौरश्वः पुरुषो हस्ती शकुनिर्मृगः ब्राह्मण इति । वैदिकाः खल्वपि — शं नो देवीरभिष्टये, ईषे त्वोर्जे त्वा, अग्निममीळे पुरोहितम्, अग्ना आयाहि वीतये इति ।
