WHAT DOES DOUBLE-CLICK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Double-click

A double-click is the act of pressing a computer mouse button twice quickly without moving the mouse. Double-clicking allows two different actions to be associated with the same mouse button. Often, single-clicking selects an object, while a double-click executes the function associated with that object. Following a link in a web browser however, is accomplished with only a single click, requiring the use of a second mouse button or modifier key to gain access to actions other than following the link. On touchscreens, the double-click is called "double-tap", in most cases invoking the same actions as the double-click with a mouse.

Definition of double-click in the English dictionary

The definition of double-click in the dictionary is to click a mouse button twice in rapid succession.
