Based on why I’ve heard it seems they use the word to be a synonym of the word “paradox” (?)
But according to the dictionary, inception means commencement or beginning or initiation.
What is their definition of the word “Inception” in the movie?

What is their definition of the word “Inception” in the movie?
Planting an idea so deep into someone else’s brain, that they themselves believe they were the ones who came up with that idea.
Which is actually a pretty basic psychology and most adults have the capability of doing this to other people. But in the movie, they use super-tech / dreams-within-a-dream stuff to do this effect.
To be fair, in real life you would do this by building a rapport and slowly introducing an idea over time. In the movie, they were trying to do it in a very short time while also hiding the fact that their targets had met them in the real world, and it’s heavily implied that ideas planted in this manner were far more unshakable than those planted by normal methods.
