• In software development, a private property of an object which holds a link to another object. That prototype object has a prototype of its own, and so on until an object is reached with null as its prototype. By definition, null has no prototype, and acts as the final link in this prototype chain. ← MDN Web Docs
• In web development and design, a more or less elaborate proof of concept or preview for a website or app.
