But the term itself is nothing more than gobbledygook to the layperson and, without more explanation, is not informative and, therefore, just a useless exercise. What is a good word to describe such a term? Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Share Post on Reddit Re: Can't locate the word for....
