Description

@gitspeaks

The word "block" is used in various contexts, appearing in 10 different terms across the glossary. This creates cognitive overhead for readers.

In essence, a "block container" is an element where the flow layout (also known as block-and-inline layout) begins or resumes. This is consistent with the fact that an element functions as a "block container" when its inner display property is set to flow or flow-root.

Referring to a "block container" by its actual purpose—"flow container"—would greatly reduce this mental burden and improve clarity.
