first term
Initial time serving
The first term is the initial period a president, governor, or other elected official serves in office.
Since many positions allow reelection, first term distinguishes the initial tenure from subsequent ones: Obama's first term focused on healthcare reform.
In mathematics, first term refers to the initial element in a sequence or polynomial expression.
