I got to learn this after I started referring to a label at work as 'nonce' because of how it looked -- "NONC-3"
and THEN I found out the definition of the term
A nonce is jargon in cryptography. It means a random unique value used to make it impractical for an attacker to guess in a protocol.
I knew the definition from way back and had a time when learning about cryptographic nonces https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_nonce
