Affordance
A visual signal that tells a user how to interact with something. Good affordance means users know what to do without being told.
Example sentence
Add clear affordance to the drag handle. It should look obviously draggable before the user touches it.
Try it in a prompt
The save icon in your design tool has no affordance. Give it a button shape, a label, and a pressed state so it reads as tappable.
