I have heard this term IP helper address used to reference a default
gateway. Is an IP helper address the same as a default gateway? If not
what is an IP helper address? Do you know where the term came from?

no...the two are nothing alike
a default gateway is just thatyour next hop out.
and ip helper can be any address on any subnet that would generally answer a
broadcast from a host on a local segment. But since routers stop broadcasts
by default, you must specify this address as a helper
through the router. however, be aware that ip helper address does open up
other ports.
