'Convey' means 'get across'. I think it's what you were trying to convey!

Apr 9, 2019 at 21:49 comment added Chad Actually, according to m-w.com, the word "widget" was used as early as 1924, so I don't think it derived from "window" and "gadget". It has a long history before being used as a computer UI term.

Apr 9, 2019 at 17:35 comment added Simon Richter The term widget is a contraction of "window" and "gadget". The term gadget refers to an UI element that is visible to the user (so all widgets are gadgets), but widgets manage their appearance and behavior independent of the application (i.e. they contain code that filters, forwards and generates events, not just data). So this is an implementation detail that is relevant only to developers and UI designers, and everyone else is using these terms interchangeably anyway. If that distinction is important, a good translation would probably highlight it as well.
