How to use "Octave" in context?
The octave is the eighth note of the diatonic scale. It is the interval between the first and second tones of the chromatic scale. The octave is realized as the distance between the frequencies of two consecutive notes in equal tempered tuning. The distance between the first and second notes of a particular octave is one tenth of a semitone. In 12-ET, this is 88.6 Hz. The name "octave" is from the Latin octavus meaning "eight".
The octave is structurally important because it divides the range of human hearing into two usable parts.
