What is Jargon?

Jargon refers to technical or specialized vocabulary that is used by a particular profession, group, or activity. It usually consists of terms, phrases, or expressions that are not easily understood by individuals outside of that specific field. Jargon serves as a form of shorthand communication among professionals to convey complex ideas efficiently and precisely. It can help establish a shared understanding within a particular community but may also hinder effective communication when used inappropriately with non-experts.
