The term MEANS' PARTNER is composed of two words, WAYS and ENDS. WAYS is a noun that refers to a method or manner of doing something, while ENDS is a noun that refers to the conclusion or result of an action. Together, they form the phrase MEANS' PARTNER, which is used to describe the relationship between two things that are necessary for achieving a desired outcome. For example, if one wants to build a house, they need both the means (the tools, materials, and labor) and the ENDS (the finished product). Without both, the desired outcome cannot be achieved.
