parent module
[ˈpeərənt ˈmɒdjuːl]
nounpl: parent modules
módulo pai
1. In software development, a module that contains or references other modules (child modules), serving as a container or controller for subordinate modules in a hierarchical structure
The parent module imports and manages all the child modules in the application architecture.
O módulo pai importa e gerencia todos os módulos filhos na arquitetura da aplicação.
2. A module from which other modules inherit properties, methods, or functionality in object-oriented or modular programming
The configuration settings in the parent module are inherited by all child modules.
As configurações no módulo pai são herdadas por todos os módulos filhos.
This is primarily technical jargon used in software engineering. The term 'módulo pai' is universally understood in Brazilian tech communities and follows the same hierarchical naming convention as 'módulo filho' (child module). In both Brazil and Portugal, English terminology is often retained in technical documentation, but Portuguese translations are increasingly used in educational contexts.
