Description

AFAIK, the term target is not defined anywhere. I think it should be defined somewhere, at least in the glossary.

Research direction

Start by locating the glossary in the Rust Reference and reviewing how “target” is used elsewhere in the documentation. Add a glossary definition that fits the project’s terminology; the work is done when the term is defined there and the documentation remains consistent.
