👉 jargon is a term in linguistics that refers to specialized, technical terms or phrases used in one field of study. The term "jargon" was first coined by Robert A. Johnson in 1964 as a way to describe a specific type of language and its use in the study of literature. The term has since been widely adopted for any specialized term that is not commonly understood or accepted, such as technical terms used in computer science, engineering, or medicine.
