The bottom term of a fraction?
The bottom term in a fraction is officially called the denominator, because it gives you a name for the fraction; for example, if the fraction is 1/2, that is called a half, because of the denominator. No matter what the numerator on top may be, as in the fractions 3/2, 4/2, 5/2 etc., we hare still talking about halves, because the denominator is 2. If the denominator is 3, then we are talking about thirds.
