phrase

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'group of words' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'apart in speech' is the second definition.
'phrase' can be an answer for 'speech' (phrase is a kind of speech). I am not sure about the 'apart in' bit.

'comes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for phrase that I've seen before include "Express in words" , "Short expression" , "partial sentence" , "Put into words" , "Present" .)
