This is a normal post it is
It's an english word meaning "(of a word or expression) coined for one occasion" so in cryptography terms, it's a single-use number/string used to make the cryptographic result less predictable.

It still makes me laugh every time I see it in a cryptography context anyway.

Even more so in bitcoin circles, where they have a notion of a "golden nonce" which just makes me think of jingle jangle jewellery
