  • method invocation — (programming)   In object-oriented programming, the way the program looks up the right code to run when a method with a given name is called ("invoked") on an object.

This is the case for an object method whereas a class method is just an ordinary function (that is bundled with a given class) and can be resolved at compile time (or load time in the case of a dynamically loaded library).
