I have recently seen a problem that used the term "latin square". I was wondering, what is a latin square? I know that it is actual square. Is a latin square a square like a Sudoku puzzle or is it where the rows and columns add up to the same number?

It is a common puzzle: a grid filled with symbols. As many symbols as there are rows / columns. Each row and column must contain all of the symbols exactly once.
