 https://wiki.debian.org/Glossary#release has:

# *release*
#
# see [Debian Release]
#
# * The occasion of a new [stable] version of Debian being declared
#   ready for production use.
#
# * A [suite] that has been or is going to be released; more generally,
#   a synonym for [suite] - even [sid] has a `Release` file and is
#   traditionally (if oxymoronically) referred to as "the unstable
#   release".

(And see also https://wiki.debian.org/Glossary#distribution .)

So if somebody comes up with a good answer it can go there...
