jargon

Specific words or language, often technical in nature, used by a particular group or profession that is difficult for others outside that group to understand.

In news, sometimes it may be difficult to avoid jargon or industry buzzwords.

Try to write around jargon. If a technical term or piece of jargon must be included, explain what it means. This is true if the term is used either in a quote or in a reported paragraph.
