I always thought it was a web app that functions reasonably even on older browsers with JS turned off (for example). Then the experience gets "progressively better" if you have a newer browser, and allow JS to execute.

Or am I confusing terminology?

You're confusing terminology: that's progressive enhancement. Applies to both CSS and JS.

PWA is pretty much all though JS APIs, primarily the Service Worker API.

Two different concepts.

"Progressive enhancement" is the term you're looking for. I also mix it up in my head a lot.
