The terminals are as follows; X red wire, Y black wire, W white wire and G which is the ground will be either a green wire or a bare #10 wire that is in the same cable set that brings the power to the receptacle.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you install a 110 volt plug?
I'm first off assuming this is a brand new plug, not a replacement. Okay. Ground first(green). Make sure you've got enough bare copper to wrap around the bottom screw. Then, strip and wrap the white around either of the silver screws on the side of the outlet. Finally, connect the black to the hot side (brass colored screws). And you should be all set.
How do you get electricity to a wall switch when getting electircity from an outlet?
Simply run a wire from that outlet to that wall switch. Be sure you use the exact same wire size that you find in that outlet. It will be AWG 12/2 or 14/2. Do not mixes wire sizes. Connect the ground to green ground screw at outlet, and white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw. At the light switch connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect the ground wire to the green ground screw on the switch. Now connect the 2 black wires you have left, power in and power out, to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which wires you connect to the 2 screws.

How do you change split outlet back to standard outlet?
On each side of new receptacle there is a tab between the screws that hold the wires. This tab is bent back and forth until it breaks off. (Usually on the Brass or hot side.) The receptacle is now split and can now be wired for two separate circuits or one outlet switched and the other not. Easy way is to strip the wire under 1 screw back till it will go under the other screw on the same side and tighten.
What color wire is attached to the narrowest slot in a duplex receptacle?

The ground screw will be on one end of the outlet.

In the switch box tie all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Tie all the ground wires together and connect that to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Does not matter which if you only have power in and power out to the light.

Bring power into the switch box with a 12/2 or 14/2 wire and send power from there to the wall outlet with another 12/2 or 14/2 wire depending on the circuit. 12/2 for 20 amp and 14/2 for 15 amp circuit. You will now have 2 sets of wires in the switch box. Connect all the whites together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all the ground wires together and attach them to the green ground screw on the switch. Connect the black wire from the power source to one of the screws on the switch, does not matter which one. Then connect the black wire going to the outlet to the other screw on the switch. Put the switch back in the box and install the cover. At the wall outlet connect the ground to green ground screw, white wire to silver screw, and black wire to gold screw on one of the outlets.

Can a receptacle be used as a splicin device?
If you mean can you split off the power from an outlet to another outlet or device the answer is yes. Just make sure not to overload the circuit. Usually outlets have two connection points for Hot (Copper colored screw) - black wire and Neutral (Silver colored screw) - White wire. Just take off power at the unused screws if they exist or use wire nuts to branch off other wire pair and a pigtail to reconnect to the outlet if two pairs of wire already on outlet
