I cannot recall an English word which means the devising or choosing of names for things, and I know what the word is in Chinese(命名法), then I translated it using Google translate and got nomenclature. But I don't think it is the one I am looking for.
I think I can recognize that word in a given context and it should be shorter than nomenclature, then I googled but all results are something like terminology, term or moniker, which are alternatives to the second sense of that nomenclature.
What is that word?
