cover term

A cover term is a word (or phrase) that provides a more general, legal, or accurate overarching term for a set of dissimilar terms that share a common property. Synonym: category.

"Cover term" may sound like "comfort term" when enunciated poorly or quickly, which might suggest the cover term is being used to make the original word (or phrase) more palatable or less anxiety producing to the audience. While this may occur, it is never the primary objective of using a cover term.
"Shelter" is the cover term for rent, mortgage payments, housing, and so forth.

I have Smart term memory loss, for example: to me, my friend texted me they didn’t want to go to homecoming with their boyfriend. To them they told me in person that. For me I remember their text very clearly in my mind but after searching for an hour I still couldn’t find it so my brain just processed the information I was given to a way I was use to communicating to this person.
