combination
When talking about locks, "combination" refers to the specific sequence of numbers needed to open it. In mathematics, be careful not to confuse a "combination" with a "permutation." In a combination, the order of items does not matter, whereas in a permutation, the order is important. When describing food or styles, this word usually suggests that two or more different things have been blended together to create something new and better.
