Descriptor

I looked up and read the definition of descriptor in the dictionary, but I'm still not too sure what it means. Can someone give me some examples of words you can call descriptors?
  

Top answer

Synonyms: Index term, catalogue term, classification word Examples in context: The extra virgin descriptor is given only to olive oil that is extracted mechanically without heat beyond 30C. A nickname like "Fat Eddie," "Mad Dog Harris," "The Dark Lord" and "He-who-must-not-be-named", can be a descriptor of a personality characteristic. Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy.
