glossary
A glossary serves as a specialized bridge between a technical text and the reader, providing immediate clarity for jargon or archaic language without requiring the reader to leave the document. It differs from a general dictionary by being strictly limited to the vocabulary of a specific book, field, or project. While typically found in the back of a volume, it functions as a targeted reference tool. It is distinct from an index, which lists page numbers for topics, whereas a glossary provides the actual meaning of the terms.
