terminological
Concerning specialized vocabulary
Terminological means relating to terminology—the specialized vocabulary of a field or discipline.
A terminological dispute concerns what words mean rather than underlying facts.
Terminological confusion arises when people use the same words differently.
The phrase terminological inexactitude is a euphemism, often ironic, for a lie.
