jargon
의미: Specialised or technical language used by a particular profession, group, or field that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
Jargon serves an important function within professional communities, allowing precise and efficient communication. However, it often carries a negative connotation when used unnecessarily with a general audience, where it can obscure meaning and exclude people. Government and healthcare bodies in Britain regularly campaign against excessive jargon in public communications.
