binomials
Algebraic two-term sums
Binomials are expressions or names consisting of two parts.
In mathematics, a binomial is an algebraic expression with two terms joined by plus or minus, like x + y.
In biology, binomial nomenclature is the two-part naming system for species, combining genus and species names: Homo sapiens.
In linguistics, binomials are fixed word pairs joined by a conjunction: bread and butter, salt and pepper.
The singular binomial works as both noun and adjective.
