Can you please specify the context?

We have a glossary here:
https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/glossary/#prometheus

But I don't see 'adapter'.

 In order to expose metrics beyond CPU and memory to Kubernetes for autoscaling, you’ll need an “adapter” that serves the custom metrics API. Since you’ve got Prometheus metrics, it makes sense to use the Prometheus adapter to serve metrics out of Prometheus.
