ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Technical term

A technical term is a fancy word that is used by experts to describe something specific. It's like when you go to the doctor and they use words you don't understand to talk about your body. The words they use are technical terms. Scientists, engineers, and other experts use technical terms to explain things in a way that makes sense to other experts. It's like a secret language that only experts understand. But if you ask them nicely, they might explain it to you in a way that you can understand too.
