The text and logical definitions use the term "chorionic villus" while the label is 'placental villous stroma', which could potentially cause user confusion. Should the label be updated and / or synonym added?

@emquardokus I have seen "chorionic villous stroma" and "placental villous stroma" in the literature without a clear preference. Is there a reason for the term to be labeled "placental villous stroma"?

@aleixpuigb
my original NTR had this paper and definition: I'm not sure why the definition you have uses chorionic villus?

Definition from paper: The placental villous stroma is a connective tissue layer that supports the fetal capillaries and villous trophoblast.

Thank you for your answer.

The reason behind having "chorionic villus" in the definition is to align with the logical definition. What I can do is to include placental villus in brackets for clarification:

A stroma that is part of a chorionic villus (placental villous). A placental villous stroma supports the fetal capillaries and villous trophoblast.
