What's the distinction between Compile and transpile then? and is this distinction agreed upon and meaningful?

I agree with drdrey's definition here[1], which is echoed in paragraph two here[2] as well, which provides you with the agreement part at least. Whether if it is meaningful to you, is up to you.
