Answer 3

People usually ask to have something explained "in layman's terms" when a technical explanation is originally given. For instance, a doctor might use medical terms when explaining a diagnosis. If the patient does not understand those medical terms, he or she would ask the doctor to explain "in layman's terms," or in such a way that a non-medical professional would understand.

Answer 4

To put something in layman's terms is to explain something that someone unfamiliar with the topic being discussed would understand.

You'd typically use it to explain some techincal field to someone who is not in that field.

If you were explaining something to a fellow expert, you would probably use lots of specific details and technical jargon. To explain it to a layman, you would simplify the whole thing and use basic words, perhaps even analogies, to make your point clear.

Answer 5

A "layman" is someone who is not an expert in a certain field. For instance, I recently had laparoscopic surgery to remove my gall bladder, and since I am not an expert in that field of medicine, my doctor had to explain things to me in words/phrases I could understand, aka "layman's terms."

Answer 6

Answer 7
