Actually that is not the reason. The reason it is called علم  
النحو according to the Mauritanian scholar Ibn Bon is that the  
fourth Khalifa, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, was  
teaching Abu Aswad Ad-duali أبو أسود الدؤلي what a noun  
(or اسم ), a verb ( or فعل ) and a particle ( or حرف) were.  
He was also teaching him some declinations or شيء من  
الإعراب  and he said to him explicitly: انْحَ هذا  
النحْوَ Take this direction.
