Criterion is the singular form of a word usually used in its plural form- criteria.
Get together a bunch of criterion and you have the criteria.

but like what exactly is a criteria?
When you don't know what a word means, often times it's helpful to sound it out. When you say "criteria," what do you hear? The first two syllables are "cry" and "tear." A "criteria" is closely related to those two words - it means a group of sad people. "Criterion" is the singular form of "criteria," and refers to one sad person.

W.H. Cozens when he translated Euwe's Development of Chess Style talked of certain "characteristic features" or "advantages" which define the "needs of the position." Bernard Cafferty in translating Kotov's Play Like a Grandmaster writes of a "table of chess elements" similar to the Mendeleev Periodic Table of chemical elements. GM Jonathan Rowson, a native English speaker, following Kasparov writes of "dimensions" in Chess for Zebras.

"Criterion" is a standard by which something is judged. For example, technical merit used to be one of the criterion used for judging figure skating.
