I'm not sure if this answers your question in regards to your specific example, but let's say you have a simple table with just two numerical columns, say two integers.
SELECT i1, i2, i1+i2 AS "Sum" FROM MyTable will show three columns, two of them real columns from the table and one computed. So the term in this case is a COMPUTED column.
