Tips

usage
Distinguish from 准确度 ('accuracy', closeness to true value) and 精确度 ('exactness'). In statistics and ML, 精度 specifically corresponds to 'precision' (the precision/recall pair). In everyday tech-speak, 精度 covers the general sense of 'how fine-grained / how exact'.
memory
(refined / fine) + (degree / measure) - 'degree of refinement', mapping cleanly to English 'precision'.
