drop-downs
Clickable option lists
Drop-downs are menus that appear when you click or hover over an element, revealing a list of options that "drop down" from the trigger point.
The term comes from computing interfaces where navigation menus, form selections, and settings panels expand downward: Select your country from the drop-down.
Also written as dropdown or drop down.
