We already have Session:
A Connection to the Database.

I propose: Client:
A host (or a process on a host) which connects to a server to make
queries or other requests.

But note, "host" is still defined as "server", which I didn't like.

Maybe it should be:
A computer which may act as a >client< or a >server<.
