Interface Builder Terminology

Have you seen any linking between Interface Builder autolayout and a more deeper level of understanding. Like the terminology between this And Interface Builder

Leading = left etc.

Update: Thanks to @skunkmb I was thinking more how Interface Builder settings relate to NSLayoutRelation, NSLayoutAttribute and NSLayoutFormatOptions. Like when in Interface Builder you can select "Trailing Space to Container Margin".

It is like Interface Builder is trying to make it easier by putting some wording into the UI. But for me as a develop it does not make it easier, I need to know what it is doing - not just experience that something happened and then I just do it over again, when I get in a similar situation.
