stockholdings = stockholding (transparent) = stock + hold + ing + s

Etymology
Stockholdings comes from two parts: stock, meaning a 'supply' or things of value and now often 'shares' in a company, and holdings, from 'to hold' or 'own'. So stockholdings are the total number of company shares a person or organization owns.
