Consecutive fields can be combined to form a larger unit of information called an item. Grouping fields to form an item simplifies the manipulation of related~data fields, and minimizes the number of instruction executions required to move consecutive fields within the main memory.

1967 B. S. Walker Introd. Computer Engin. vi. 157 The field or item is typically a group of letters or numbers, in association, to mean a name, or reference number, or a heading of some kind.

1954 Word 10 230 ‘Items’..are either morphemes or sequences of morphemes, but still one has to contend with the independent status of order, constructions, and hierarchical structure. Even so, there is a clear difference between taking some phonemic material as ‘root’ (= item) and some as ‘marker’ of processes.

1964 R. A. Hall Introd. Ling. vi. 34 The first group [of linguistic analysts] wish to limit their description strictly to an enumeration of items and the arrangements or sequences in which they are found... The other group..take into account the passage of time when the observer moves from one part of his material to another... This approach is based on a listing of items involved and of ‘processes’ which the items ‘undergo’.

1964 R. A. Hall Introd. Ling. vi. 35 In some respects, the item-and-process (IP) approach is closer to our traditional type of grammatical description than is the item-and-arrangement (IA) approach.

1964 M. A. K. Halliday et al. Ling. Sci. ii. 24 In English..‘chair’ is a lexical item: it operates as an item in open set choices. ‘the’, ‘chair’, the ‘-s’ in ‘chairs’, ‘in case’..are grammatical items.
