Is there a single word that can describe JavaScript functions, variables, and objects? I was thinking "entities", but that word is usually used to describe the mapping between objects and a database. And I'm trying to be more descriptive than calling them just "things". Also, "concepts" or "ideas" seem a bit too abstract... Is there another word I could use that is more concrete?

For example: "In JavaScript, 'scope' is the set of (word) that you have access to."

The example was taken from this article in w3schools, and I was wondering if there is another term that succinctly covers function, variables, and objects.

One Word for Functions, Variables, and Objects

Is there a single word that can describe JavaScript functions, variables, and objects? I was thinking "entities", but that word is usually used to describe the mapping between objects and a database.
