What's the word for technical/scientific/official terms?

I was beginning to think I was experiencing the Mandela effect, which has a rather unimaginative ____ [name|term]: false memory.

Is there either an adjective that fills the ____ that means scientific, official, and technical, or a noun that replaces ____ [name|term]? It would be a word that means this is what experts in the field would call it in their discourse.

"Technical" may, in fact, be the best word, but I was hoping for something a little less plebeian because I'm a snob.


Solution 1:

Not sure if "appellation" would humor your snobbery :)
