for "standard deviation" : A great deal of confusion has been introduced into statistical literature by the many different expressions which have been used for the standard deviation and the simple derivatives of it.(...) The term "standard deviation" is now almost universally accepted(...). "Mean error"(Gauss), "mean square error" and "error of mean square"(Airy) have all been used to denote the standard deviation. The standard deviation is not to be confused with "standard error". 2, record 2, English, - population%20standard%20deviation
