Ah Google - if you google "palette window" (the technical term) you get: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palette_window
Further technical info:
Palette Window - A utility window which floats above the document window which contains one or more panels. (Technically the palette window contains a single tray and nothing else.)
Tray - An area on the screen reserved for holding panels. A palette window is one example of this; the left and right sides of the S20 user interface are others.
Panel - A rectangular portion of user interface, comprised of related user interface elements. Panels may exist within a Tray or Palette Window, in which case they can be dragged between the trays.
The problem is technically, we have hundreds of "panels" (each menu for example).
In their undocked state, they are correctly referred to as palettes. In their docked state, they are merely panels, but it's probably reasonable to continue to refer to them as palettes since their behaviour and use-case doesn't change based on whether they are docked or not.
They aren't toolboxes, nor tools (some of them have tools, others have information, others have data.
But we'll consider the options (being "technically correct" or finding something else that works instead).
