       :keyword:`async with` statement by defining :meth:`__aenter__` and
       :meth:`__aexit__` methods.  Introduced by :pep:`492`.
 
+   asynchronous generator
+      A function which returns an :term:`asynchronous generator iterator`.  It
+      looks like a coroutine function defined with :keyword:`async def` except
+      that it contains :keyword:`yield` expressions for producing a series of
+      values usable in an :keyword:`async for` loop.
+
+      Usually refers to a asynchronous generator function, but may refer to an
+      *asynchronous generator iterator* in some contexts.  In cases where the
+      intended meaning isn't clear, using the full terms avoids ambiguity.
+
+      An asynchronous generator function may contain :keyword:`await`
+      expressions as well as :keyword:`async for`, and :keyword:`async with`
+      statements.
+
+   asynchronous generator iterator
+      An object created by a :term:`asynchronous generator` function.
+
+      This is an :term:`asynchronous iterator` which when called using the
+      :meth:`__anext__` method returns an awaitable object which will execute
+      that the body of the asynchronous generator function until the
+      next :keyword:`yield` expression.
+
+      Each :keyword:`yield` temporarily suspends processing, remembering the
+      location execution state (including local variables and pending
+      try-statements).  When the *asynchronous generator iterator* effectively
+      resumes with another awaitable returned by :meth:`__anext__`, it
+      picks-up where it left-off.  See :pep:`492` and :pep:`525`.

    asynchronous iterable
       An object, that can be used in an :keyword:`async for` statement.
