The meaning of the word "terminology."
0:11
It is defined as
0:14
the agreement of a group
0:16
to assign a specific word,
0:18
or two words, to represent
0:20
a particular meaning.
0:22
For this reason, the
0:24
meaning of a term may differ according to those who coin it
0:26
and those who agree upon it.
0:28
And if it is said
0:30
that "there is no dispute in terminology,"
0:32
meaning that there is no harm
0:34
in a specific group agreeing
0:36
upon a particular term,
0:38
it is nonetheless necessary
0:40
to define the term
0:42
and clarify its meaning precisely
0:44
according to those who use it,
0:46
so that no confusion
0:48
or ambiguity in understanding occurs,
0:50
and so that the scope of disagreement is narrowed
0:52
during dialogue and discussion.
