While solvent can mean almost anything, mineral spirits has always had, and for me, will always have a specific meaning. BTW, the bastardization of the term mineral spirits is one of the main reasons that I now usually recommend naphtha. At least when it says naphtha on the can, you don't have to read the fine print to know what's really inside.
