What is a term?
A term is one or more words that, when used together, identify a subject. A term is normally a single noun (like ‘computer’), several nouns strung together (such as ‘computer display’) or noun(s) qualified by adjective(s) (for example. ‘large computer display’). Several terms may identify the same subject, in which case they are called synonyms (such as ‘computer display’ and ‘computer screen’).
