4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
attribute

    A named value or relationship that exists for some or
   all instances of some entity and is directly associated
   with that instance.

   Examples include the href attribute of an HTML anchor
   element, the columns of a database table considered as
   attributes of each row, and the members (properties and
   methods of an object in OOP.  This contrasts with the
   contents of some kind of container (e.g. an array), which are
   typically not named.  The contents of an associative array,
   though they might be considered to be named by their key
   values, are not normally thought of as attributes.
