\begin{definition}[Definition:Ordered Tuple/Also known as]
Some sources refer to an ordered tuple as a '''tuple'''.
The term '''ordered $n$-tuple''' can sometimes be seen, particularly for specific instances of $n$. 
Instead of writing '''2-tuple''', '''3-tuple''' and '''4-tuple''', the terms '''couple''', '''triple''' and '''quadruple''' are usually used.
In the context of abstract algebra, the concept is encountered as '''(associative) word'''.
