"Die Truppe besteht zu einem Großteil aus Freiwilligen." why do we need "zu" here? It seems extraneous

It's not "zu einem Großteil", but "zu einem Großteil"
--> "zu einem Großteil" > "größtenteils"
--> Die Truppe besteht {zu einem Großteil / größtenteils} aus Freiwilligen.
Guten Morgen @Astrum btw.

@Vogel612 Guten Morgen

it's not confusing..
The troupe to a great part consists of volunteers.

@TomAu i think the edit you performed is not a good edit. I don't see any reason for editing the question to talk about an abbreviation. The 'in short' previously i that question has nothing to do with the length of the word, but is a request to keep anwers short and understandable. For these reasons I rolled back. If you disagree, I suggest you chime in on German Language Chat and Ping me. I'll be lurking around there the whole day tomorrow... — Vogel612 2 mins ago
