From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
free variable          1. A variable referred to in a function, which is not an       argument of the function.   In {lambda-calculus}, x is a {bound       variable} in the term M = \ x . T, and a free variable of T.       We say x is bound in M and free in T.   If T contains a subterm       \ x . U then x is rebound in this term.   This nested, inner       binding of x is said to "shadow" the outer binding.       Occurrences of x in U are free occurrences of the new x.          Variables bound at the top level of a program are technically       free variables within the terms to which they are bound but       are often treated specially because they can be compiled as       fixed addresses.   Similarly, an identifier bound to a       recursive function is also technically a free variable within       its own body but is treated specially.          A {closed term} is one containing no free variables.          See also {closure}, {lambda lifting}, {scope}.          2. In {logic}, a variable which is not quantified (see       {quantifier}).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
