Final answer:

The generic name is the lower-case or legal noncommercial name for a drug, distinct from the brand name.


Explanation:

The term used to describe the lower-case name or legal noncommercial name for a drug, usually given by a government agency, is the generic name. This name is different from the brand name or trade name of the drug.

For example, in the drug industry, a drug may have a generic name like 'ibuprofen' while its brand name could be 'Advil' or 'Motrin'.

Understanding the distinction between generic names and brand names is crucial in pharmaceuticals for accurate communication and identification of drugs.
