Inode is a number used to locate a file or directory, so it's the wrong word for this purpose. I'd suggest either "file or directory", or to coin your own word (filerectory?). I coined the word wmde to stand for "Window manager or desktop environment", because in many cases you can use either to fulfill the same basic purpose.
