本人自学在看网络模块uip-refman资料时，有个单词protothread,总是不能理解这词的意思，
请问各位高手是怎么翻译这个词的？
原文如下：

6.1.7.9 #de?ne PT_WAIT_THREAD(pt, thread)

Note:

The child protothread must be manually initialized with the PT_INIT() function before this function isused.

Parameters:

pt A          pointer to the protothread control structure.

thread      The child protothread with arguments

看起来有点像“线程”的意思。
下面是金山词霸的翻译：
proto-
表示“第一, 主要”之义
thread
n.
线, 细丝, 线索, 思路, 螺纹
