GLOBAL meaning and its senses

GLOBAL means concerning all parts of the world. It can also mean relating to the whole of something, with senses such as total or universal. That second use lets you describe a complete system or an overall measure, not only something spread across countries.

A separate technical definition is a globally scoped identifier. That sense appears in programming contexts, where the word describes an identifier with global scope. The word’s recorded frequency count is 9,793, so it is not just a specialist term.
