Is there a specific term for partially overlapping frames from incomplete film advance?

On a manual-wind film camera, you can sometimes create two exposures that overlap only partway by preventing the film from advancing a full frame. Is there a commonly used term for this effect or technique, beyond simply calling it a double or multiple exposure?

The term people usually use is "double exposure". As far as I know, it is only useful to do when you don't move film at all, not move it a fraction of a frame length. On many film cameras there is a special button, that will wind the shutter, but prevent film movement (link is to the manual info on Nikon FE).
Not directly relevant to the question, but similar process can be performed on digital cameras (I only used Nikon D3 and D600).

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
The usual term is still double exposure (or multiple exposure if done more than twice). There doesn’t appear to be a widely used separate term just for partial frame overlap caused by incomplete film advance. In other words, it’s generally treated as a variation of multiple exposure rather than a distinct named technique.
