Explanation

XOR stands for "Exclusive OR," a logical operation that outputs true only when inputs differ. The O represents "Or," making it a specific type of OR operation in Boolean logic.

AI explanation

XOR is short for eXclusive OR, a logic operation that outputs true only when exactly one of its inputs is true. The O therefore stands for Or, distinguishing it from the plain OR gate by the 'exclusive' qualifier that excludes the case where both inputs are true. Operation or On don't match the actual boolean-logic naming convention.
