If the order of a discretized equation is ‘k’, what does it mean? Correct Answer Truncation error is proportional to kth power

When a discretized equation is said to be of the order ‘k’, it means that the last term has (k-1)th power and the first term of the truncated equation has kth power. For example, in spatial derivative, the first term of the truncated equation will be proportional to (∆x)k.
