The terminology in question refers to what one might initially interpret as a scriptPubKey that encompasses the hash of a BIP-342 tapscript. However, this interpretation is somewhat misleading for two primary reasons. Firstly, it's not actually the hash of a script but rather a Merkle root. Secondly, the scope of this concept is not limited exclusively to tapscript. Given these clarifications, a more precise and descriptive term such as "pay to script tree merkle root" would arguably be more fitting and accurate in capturing the essence of the discussed concept. This adjustment in terminology would help in providing a clearer understanding of the functionality and its operational specifics.
