Is there a difference between a "prop" and a "property" in general?

This is a vocabulary concept introduced in most web frontend frameworks of today. The parameters that are passed to a component are called "props", whether in React or Vue, for instance.

Even the official documentations refers to the word "prop" all over the place, including in translated versions.

I personally prefer to use the full word "property" because "prop" sounds a little weird to my ears. I agree, that is quite a subjective perception.

As "prop" is so widely used, is it just a shorthand for "property" or a slightly different concept I should be aware of?
