“Throughout the semester, we will place a great deal of importance on defining words, both terminology that will help us describe, analyze, and discuss our reading and writing, and vocabulary that will help us better understand the material we encounter.”

When i first encountered the word Terminology on the glossary project outline paper sheet i didn’t fully knew the meaning of the word. To try to get a better understanding of the expression i tried to break it into syllables. I broke The word into three “Term”, “in” and “ology”. I knew the denotation for “term” was “a word or phase used to describe a thing or to express a concept”. So using the definition of “term” i figured out the word “Terminology” was a word or phrase used to describe a thing or to reveal a concept. Knowing that wasn’t the correct definition i looked up the word. after doing so i got the true definition above. Knowing the proper definition i realized that throughout the semester a great deal of importance will be place on defining a body of words used with a particular technical application in a subject of study, business or art to help us better understand the material we encounter.
