I had heard of the term radicand to describe the part under a square root. Recently I heard the term integrand to describe the part being integrated.
I was wondering if there were any other terms like this?

Summand, of course. – Kavi Rama Murthy Apr 19 '19 at 08:51

1There is also "operand". From Wikipedia: "In mathematics an operand is the object of a mathematical operation, i.e. it is the object or quantity that is operated on." – Minus One-Twelfth Apr 19 '19 at 08:55

I suppose this is where we get the term dividend from? Bit strange that this ends in ‘end’ instead of the usual ‘and’. – Jamminermit Apr 19 '19 at 08:59

Incidentally, is there a term for the function you are taking a limit of? I haven't heard something like "limitand" being used. – Minus One-Twelfth Apr 19 '19 at 09:01

@MinusOne-Twelfth I think the term operand covers all cases. There's no need to multiply terms that are isomorphic mod being the argument of an operation when we can call them all operand, in general. – Allawonder Apr 19 '19 at 09:32
