Technicalities: definition and simple examples (excellent)

Technicalities

A technicality it's a kind of neologism which refers to all those concepts that are used in certain disciplines to refer to specific phenomena closely linked to those disciplines. For example: bag, ram, web, target.

The technicalities are used in very specific areas and are used when it is known that the recipient is an expert in the field. That is why it is very common to find them in specialized media, such as a medical magazine or an astronomy program.

They are also used in press conferences, forums, or even in classes. Technicalities are fundamental tools in any area of ​​study such as physics, chemistry, computers, music, painting, theater, medicine or mathematics.

It may happen that these terms are new words, which are invented to name something that had not been invented or discovered until now. It may also happen that words that already exist in other disciplines are taken, but that they are used with a meaning that is appropriate to the discipline.
