| 2.2.3 Explanation Section | |
| Explanation | Note 1: In translation-oriented terminology work, a proposed term can be a paraphrase representing a concept for which no existing term is available in a target language or for which an apparently obvious loan translation can be undesirable. Over time, proposed terms either come to be recognized as terms themselves or are eventually replaced by more concise, effective terms.
Note 2: In descriptive terminology work, a terminologist or expert can propose a term designed to help the user recognize the deficiencies of existing terms, to select a more appropriate term, or to provide a term where none exists. |
