The word argument is used in several differing contexts in mathematics. The most common usage refers to the argument of a function, but is also commonly used to refer to the complex argument or elliptic argument.
An argument of a function is one of the parameters on which the function's value depends. For example, the sine is a one-argument function, the binomial coefficient is a two-argument function, and the hypergeometric function is a four-argument function.
