some citations
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 14 2012 @ 11:21 PM EDT
not the original anon, but here are some citations for the terms used which
appear to match the OP.

these come from the dragon book, formally known as 'Compilers, Principles, Tools
and Techniques'.

page 519:
The address modes together with their assembly-language forms and associated
costs are as follows:
Mode: Form Address Added cost
absolute M M 1
register R R 0
indexed c(R) c + contents(R) 1
indirect register *R contents(R) 0
indirect indexed *c(R) contents(c + contents(r) 1

page 536 footnote 5:
However, to produce a symbolic dump, which makes available the values of memory
locations and registers in terms of the source program's names for these values,
it may be more convenient to have programmer-defined variables (but not
neccesarily compiler-generated temporaries)

me:
so it appears that dexopt according to the dragon book (the seminal work on the
subject of compilers), uses the term 'indirect indexed addressing', and uses the
term symbolic only in reference to 'the source program's names'
