Generally, a module is a component of a system that has a well-defined interface to the other components; something is modular if it is constructed so as to facilitate easy assembly, flexible arrangement, and/or repair of the components.
For modules in the Linux operating system kernel, see module (Linux).
For modules in abstract algebra, see module (mathematics).
