Module

Generally, a module is a component of a system that has a well-defined interface to the other components; something is modular if it is constructed so as to facilitate easy assembly, flexible arrangement, and/or repair of the components.

For modules in the Linux operating system kernel, see Module (Linux).

For modules in abstract algebra, see Module (mathematics).
