I dig around on this a bit.

There is a setting in Nova to defer the delete of an instance
(reclaim_instance_interval).  If this is set, Deleting an Instance will
defer the actual deletion. The instance will move the instance into
"soft delete" first and then eventually move to deleted state after an
interval.

With that, Terminate instance is actually more accurate.

Title:
  "Terminate Instance" is confusing. "Delete instance" looks appropriate

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In Horizon, "Terminate Instance" is used for the action menu corresponding to "nova delete <server>".
  "Terminate Instance" actually will delete a given server.

  However, from what I have heard from end-users not familiar with
  OpenStack dashboard, it seems end-users do not associate "Terminate
  Instance" with deleting a server completely. They tend to think that
  it forces servers to be shutdown (like virsh destroy).

  IMHO "Delete Instance" is preferred and looks confusing.
