what does the phrase in XX terms mean. I know it should refer to something like in XX aspect / from the perspective of XX
But I have no idea what the following sentence mean:
People are better off in economic terms.
Does it mean ppl are well off? They are wealthy but they may not be doing so well in other facets like health?
There are similar phrases: in absolute/broad/relative/practical terms. Do they mean
exactly / generally / relatively / practically ?
Much obliged if someone can cast some light on this.
PS: I have tried to check several dictionaries but in vain.
