Is a miscarriage an abortion?

Went to my OB/GYN other day (a fresh one, change of insurance). While doing a history, he asked how frequent pregnancies I've had and if any be complicated?

I told him, I had 1 miscarriage within the 3rd month, and he wrote down, "abortion". I tried to correct him, but he said in medical jargon it means alike.

Shouldn't it say miscarriage? Wouldn't that alert the doctor that something may be wrong?
