As far as UK is concerned, moped is a legal term.

On a HMRC NOVA form for importing vehicles in to the UK, 'Style of Motorcycle' is moped for 49cc machines, even if it looks like a scooter.
e.g. a J series 125cc Lambretta would be a scooter and a J50 Lambretta would be a moped.

Plus,
There are mopeds I can ride on my car license - e.g. the spree/ aero like Honda Melodys - scooter looking with no pedals.
And there are mopeds I can't ride - e.g. Yamaha Fizzy - which have pedals and look like small motorcycles.
This also depends on when your driving test

Different countries have different rules.

Homo sapiens will perpetually argue about semantics. Get over it and keep it moving.
