As for sealing, that is what the term is called. As such perfectally acceptable to use the term. But it doesn't seal anything in. I adds flavour, texture, colour and starts the cooking process.
Which is why I've said many a time already, the term "sear" should be used instead, because there's plenty of people still out there who still think it "seals" something in due to the term being ambiguous.
