I'll stand by what I said earlier, that if people don't know what

think you're about 10 years too late to bikeshed names for this.

There is nothing wrong with calling them partial aggregates. No name is
likely to never confuse anyone and I do not see any big issue with
partial in particular. Both parallel and batch, as suggested in this
thread, would be worse.
