> stack → (depending on context): server, operating system etc
On that context, "stack" means exactly the set of all those things and a few more. You can't replace it by any one of those things. The alternative is enumerating all of them (that's what people used to do), what is bad (that's why people coined the "stack" term).

It is an specific kind of database, with performance characteristics that are completely different from the relational databases that the "database" word alone implies.
