mnemonic

RU: мнемоника

A short, human-readable abbreviation that stands for a machine-code operation in assembly language. For example, ADD means 'add two values', MOV means 'move a value between locations', and JMP means 'jump to an address'. The assembler looks up each mnemonic in a table and replaces it with the corresponding bit pattern. Mnemonics make machine code readable without changing what the CPU executes.
