input
What you type
Input is what goes into a system, process, or device—data entered into a computer, raw materials fed into a machine, contributions to a discussion: We need your input on this decision.
The verb means to enter such information: She inputted the figures into the spreadsheet.
Input contrasts with output, what comes out the other end.
