keyword

1. One of a fixed set of symbols built into the syntax of a language.
Typical keywords would be if, then, else, print, goto, while, switch.
There are usually restrictions about reusing keywords as names for
user-defined objects such as variables or procedures. Languages vary as
to what is provided as a keyword and what is a library routine, for
example some languages provide keywords for input/output operations
whereas in others these are library routines.

2. A small set of words designed to convey the subject of a technical
article. Some publications specify a fixed set of keywords from which
those for a particular article should be chosen.
