The basic definition goes back to
computer science and Mathematics
abstract data structures like
trees or graphs where entities are connected or linked in an abastract way forming a network or tree of nodes.
In a more tangible way, each record
of a a database table stored in a B-tree structure is a node.

Each one of a host of networked computers is a node, e.g an internet node.

I hope this gives some insight into node.
