Relation: also known as
In this context, technically speaking, what has been defined as a relation can actually be referred to as a binary relation.

In the field of predicate logic, a relation can be seen referred to as a relational property.

As this can cause confusion with the usage of correspondence to mean a relation which is both left-total and right-total, it is recommended that this is not used.

Some sources prefer the term relation between $S$ and $T$ as it can be argued that this provides better emphasis on the existence of the domain and codomain.

refers to a correspondence between $S$ and $T$.

The word relationship is often seen, particularly in the mundane (non-mathematical) context.
