   Format: MarkdownItexThis could go with more explanation, but it does make sense. This terminology and this whole topic of differential geometry of curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a little bit like a mathematical "living fossil": It's treatment dates from the ancient days of Gauss and hasn't changed much since.
