the trace of the path-ordered gauge field around a closed loop, whose area-law decay serves as the standard criterion for quark confinement.

In particle physics, Wilson loop refers to the trace of the path-ordered gauge field around a closed loop, whose area-law decay serves as the standard criterion for quark confinement. This meaning comes from Wilson (1974) in Physical Review D.[1]
