It's a MongoDBism. The MongoDB community used document to mean the nonrelational equivalent of a row in a relational database. But over time there was definitional shift, and now it means a JSON blob, even if that blob is in a relational database.

It's a much older term, eg. Lotus Notes was described as a document database.
