In the common Odoo method 'execute_kw', what does the suffix 'kw' refer to?

Question

I can't for the life of me find any place where the suffix of the name of the common Odoo method execute_kw is explained. What is the kw suffix for? Is it just two arbitrary letters?

KW stands for keyword. Parameters are passed as keyword:value pairs making defined positional parameters unnecessary. See more info on Python keyword arguments at Normal arguments vs. keyword arguments.
