EspañolLAYMAN
(Redirected from Layman\'s terms)
:''This article is about non-experts. For non-clergy, see Laity.''
The term 'layman' or 'layperson' originated from the use of the term laity, but over the centuries, changed definition to mean ''a person who is a non-expert in a given field of knowledge''.
The concept of describing something in 'layman's terms' has come into wide use in the English speaking world. To put something in layman's terms is to describe a complex or technical issue using words and terms that the average individual (someone without professional training in the subject area) can understand, so that they may comprehend the issue to some degree.
