Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

In a rooted tree data structure, a node with no children: also called a terminal or external node, a leaf sits at the end of a branch and holds no further subtree below it. Knuth's 1997 The art of computer programming, Volume 1 set out the standard terminology of trees, in which every node but the root has one parent and the nodes with no descendants are the leaves. The referent is an abstract position in a hierarchy, defined only by having nothing beneath it, and it borrows the word from the plant while sharing none of its substance, nor that of a book's sheet or a sheet of gold.[1]
