In financial markets, there could be lots of assets traded in some venue; any quoted price is the price of one asset in terms of another. For a specific market between two assets, the primary asset is the numerator, and the counter is the denominator; quite literally, primary/counter.
There is also bid/ask, which are sibling subtypes of offer although frequently show up in source code as mutually opposed; bids and asks are the offers to buy and offers to sell, respectively.
