UV / UV unwrap / UV mapping
These terms relate to the process of flattening the surface of a 3d object so it can be laid out on a 2d image, a bit like a sewing pattern. "UV" is not an acronym. U and V is how you name axes on the resulting 2d surface, instead of X/Y/Z. When someone sloppily just say "UV" they most likely mean an UV mapping. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping.
Texture
