Also I still don't like "realise": it is an English word without meaning, pure nonsense jargon. I think "built" is fine; even if we didn't do the building someone else did.

Passive language can help here

• "We need to build something" OK perhaps it sounds like we need to do the building ourselves.

• "We need something built" Great, it is clear that the task can be delegated to remote builder or retrieved from a cache.

• "We need to get a build result" Great, it clear what we need, and how we get it is left open-ended as it should be.

Took out all the unrelated parts (covered in other PRs), now this only adds a term to the glossary.

[Ericson2314]

I do still hope per #6507 we will drop "store derivation", but this is correct for now. If/when we do, we will just revise this.

I've used the term loosely for adding sources to the store, which is required for adding derivations to the store, as derivations reference sources. This usage might be controversial and/or not worth adding to the definition here, so +1 on the current change from me.
