Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Document type declaration for HTML5 -->
<html><!-- Start of HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of head section -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><!-- Metadata for specifying character encoding -->
<title>Define a term or name in a definition list</title><!-- Title of the HTML document -->
</head><!-- End of head section -->
<body><!-- Start of body section -->
<dl><!-- Definition list starts -->
<dt>PHP</dt><!-- Term (definition term) -->
<dd>A server side scripting language.</dd><!-- Description (definition description) -->
<dt>JavaScript</dt><!-- Another term -->
<dd>A client side scripting language.</dd><!-- Another description -->
</dl><!-- Definition list ends -->
</body><!-- End of body section -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

The document starts with the doctype declaration specifying that it is an HTML5 document.
Inside the <html> tags, the HTML document structure begins.
The <head> section contains metadata about the document, including the character encoding specified using the meta tag.
The <title> element sets the title of the HTML document.
The <body> section is where the visible content of the webpage resides.
<dl> defines a definition list.

<dt> represents a term in the list.
<dd> represents the description or definition of the term.

The HTML document ends with the closing </html> tag.
