I see "dynamic compilation" somehow as "superset" of what "JIT" is about.

By "definition", JIT means that, at runtime, some "engine" analyses what is going on, and based on that, it makes decision if/how to turn Java bytecode into machine code.

So: anything that a "JIT" is doing could be seen as "dynamic compiling". But not everything that might fall under "dynamic compiling" would be found in JITs.
