I mean, yes, you're not wrong, but the terms within Emacs itself for these features are dynamic/local "binding": https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html

  Thank you for the correction; I did not know that. I can complain about the elisp maintainers using an established term in this confusing way†, but I shouldn't have claimed that your use of it was wrong; if you're discussing a particular program, it's better to use the canonical terminology used when talking about that program, even if it conflicts with usages in other contexts. ______ † Older versions of the Emacs Lisp reference manual mostly did not do this, except for one occurrence of "dynamic binding" in the "implementation of dynamic scoping" section.
