stack = []
stack.append(item)
stack.append(item)
stack.append(item)
This is an appropriate explanation of the stack in Python, the first frame is the frame that was put in first.
root/terminal - if you know what a stack is, you won't confuse it with a tree, if you don't - then in my opinion your top/bottom terminology won't help to gain understanding. root/terminal removes the ambiguity.
right/left is also a good alternative. Nobody imagines a stack growing right to left.
