Agreed with the confusing, but the replacements proposal are too long.

fuzzy_join,matching_scorerefers to the score obtained by each row (eg amatching_scorecolumn is added whenreturn_score=True) andmatch_scoreis the minimum matching score for a match to be accepted. The 2 names are very similar and it is not clear how the terms' meaning differ making it hard to remember which is which. maybe better names would bematch_scoreandmin_match_score,match_score_thresholdor something similarAll reactions
