A compulsory purchase order refers to the legal process where the Government, local authority or other authorized organization acquires privately owned land or property for public purposes. However, there are different terminologies that refer to this process, such as "eminent domain," "expropriation," "condemnation," and "appropriation." While these words may be interchangeable, they differ in the defining legislation, scope of authority, and purposes of acquisition, among other factors.

Therefore, these terms are important for understanding the legal implications and nuances of compulsory purchase orders in various jurisdictions.
