The term Linear is used to describe a process where there is a fixed relationship between input and output.

For example: for every 1 volt increase of the input voltage, the output increases by one volt; or for every 1 volt increase of the input voltage, the output increases by two volts.

Non-linear processes are typically characterized as "distorting" the signal.
