"Stock option" refers to the right to purchase the stock of a corporation at a given price within a specified period. An "option" is a medium of investment that offers an opportunity to hedge your position in other securities by speculating on stocks with little investment, and benefit from changes in the market value of options. "Stock" is the underlying instrument of the security, from which its value is derived.
A second definition of "stock option" refers to employee remuneration, incentive, and compensation.
