If you are not familiar with the meaning of English words, I recommend you to look them up in a dictionary.

tag = "a label attached to someone or something for the purpose of identification or to give other information"

Source: Oxford online dictionary

E.g.

EDIFF-tag: EDIFF is the label you will add to your INCAR to provide information about the global break condition for the electronic SC-loop.


Cheers,

Actually I was wondering what the -CAR suffix means.
I dont think the dictionary will tell me that.
