What is a word? Not silly but dead-serious question

Under the Visual filter we are given and option Corresponding words under which we get 4 options: word, surface, lemma, root. I can get the last three to work as I would expect ... but (a) I don't know what it meant by "word" and (b) I can't get it to do anything. So what is a word? Please.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    It's pretty similar to Corresponding Selection. Open two Bibles with reverse interlinears to the same passage, turn on the word option for both. Clicking or hovering will highlight the equivalent in the other Bible.

    Great ... the other three options highlight within the same text ... no wonder I was lost. But thanks for helping me out.

    Well, if you want to put it that way, this option also highlights within the same text. It just does it twice at the same location, so you can't tell... [;)]
