I have seen reference to "100 % crop " in various posts from time to time. To me that means 100% removal(!) of the photo but I am sure it does not. Can anyone please explain? Thanks
That's when one pixel of the image is mapped to one pixel of the monitor. If it's anything besides 100%, some interpolation needs to occur when the image is displayed on the monitor.
I think it is a term best avoided. Causes too much confusion and misunderstanding. There are other, clearer ways of communicating the concept.
I think most people understand what it meant but they just want to be picky.

If you never feel the need to use the term, just forget it. Make up your own terminology, many people do, especially on UHH posts.

Check the forum archives.
The thread that is about to sprout
will be full of worthless BS just like
the one already in the archives.
Essentially, it's either meaningless
or soooo nonspecific that it makes
rich compost for pious arguments.
IOW, retract your request for an
explanation of term. You're better
off just forgetting you ever saw it
posted. And it DOES get posted ...
cuz peeps wanna sound like they
know something !

For me. A 100% crop is a 2:3 aspect ratio. So, prints from this would be 4X6, 8X12, 16X24 and 20X30. So, you print everything you saw in the viewfinder. NO CROPPING.

As in the definition in the first link it is confusing (incomplete)...1:1 pixel mapping is would be clearer. Just cropping an image doesn't make it 100% 1:1 pixel mapping.

Then none of mine are 100% crop. I always have the crop go to the original canvas size.
I wouldn't use the term anyway... Looking at the end result, not what I did to get there.
100% display may be a better way to look at it.

I've never liked that terminology. 100% of anything is all of it. In my thinking if I crop a photo 100%, it's gone!
