Additional comment

When you're learning about terms, you are generally concerned with polynomials. For that purpose, a "term" is as described above.

More generally, any designated expression or part of an expression can be referred to as a "term". For example, we might refer to √(b²-4ac) in the expression ...

`x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)`

as "the radical term", or we might refer to 2a as "the denominator term". In this expression, the term (b²-4ac) is given the name "discriminant".
