Description

## Why
Nullifiers, Merkle paths, Poseidon arity, etc. appear without a beginner glossary.

## Task
Add a short glossary (README section or `docs/GLOSSARY.md`) for terms used by opencircom templates. Keep non-academic and accurate.

## Acceptance
- [ ] Linked from README
- [ ] Covers hashing, Merkle inclusion, nullifier, comparator at minimum

## Difficulty
Beginner — documentation only.

Research direction

Review the README and the opencircom templates to identify the terms used by them. Add a short, non-academic glossary in the README or docs/GLOSSARY.md, link it from the README, and ensure it covers hashing, Merkle inclusion, nullifiers, and comparators.
