English term or phrase: high-utility science word

"Review the high-utility science word "population". Remind students to read for context to determine which definition is being used".
Por lo que encontré "high-utility word" es una combinación muy común en textos educativos como este, pero no se me ocurre una buena opción para un equivalente en castellano porque ni siquiera me termina de quedar del todo claro a qué se refiere.

Grading comment

Me parece que "palabra científica de amplio uso" es lo más apropiado para este texto, aunque quizás haya alguna colocación definida que desconocemos.
Gracias por las opciones a los dos, lástima que no se animó más gente.
