MODERATORS
The terminal includes everything from check in to baggage pick up, before and after security, and often includes a food court and shops that are before security.
Maybe you're thinking of the "gate area" of the terminal? That's behind security.
It's been years since I've seen any food or retail on temperature non-secure side of any airport.
It still exists in a lot of cities. Maybe outside USA, but definitely still exists.
Dulles International has a single security and check in area, with all terminals behind security. They may be more familiar with a similarly configured airport
The baggage check area often leads to multiple lettered sections with collections of gates.
If the terminal is all of it, what is the letter designated collection of gates called?
The gates. Or the gate area.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport_terminal
So it seems the final answer from Wikipedia is that a terminal is the whole thing, and a collection of gates is a concourse, but a concourse is also a terminal, even though the concourse is in the terminal, which means that terminals are in terminals, and the rate at which an airport grows large enough for their concourses to be terminals is called the “terminal velocity”.
Did I miss anything?
Maybe it's a regional thing.
I did forget the word concourse though. I wouldn't use it in casual conversation.
At this point, I’m not even sure airports are real.
