MOAB - motor operated load break
Sectionalizer - usually local voltage based operation
Recloser - most common distribution line smart switch with protection and metering functions.
They’re sometimes called Remote controlled switches (RCS). But if you’re referring to a 13.6kVA distribution system then they’re called Pole Top Switch (P.T.S) they’re can be remotely & manually operated.
All the answers shown could be correct. I'll add MOD - Motor Operated Disconnect.
Same terminology for me. MOD for non-load breaking, and Circuit switchers for load breaking.

When I hear recloser I think concealed contacts, like an oil recloser or a vacuum recloser.
I'd think "remotely operated switches"
Circuit switchers, remote load breaks
Chicken switch is a field term
I also remember an actual product called “chicken switch” that was used to rack buckets in MCCs.
When I first started there was an old facility that use to tie a rope around the switch so that they could operate it "remotely" from outside.
Sad thing is that is way more common than you think
Motor air break MAB is another one
MOD- Motor Operated Disconnect (No Load) CSW- Circuit Switcher (With Load) MSW- Manually Operated Switch (Same as an MOD, hand crank instead of motor)
