vocabulary lists
Compiled term sets
Vocabulary lists are compilations of words, typically assembled for study or reference.
Students learn vocabulary lists for exams; language learners work through lists organized by theme or difficulty.
The term often evokes rote memorization: I spent the weekend drilling vocabulary lists.
Lists may include definitions, translations, or example sentences alongside the words themselves.
