I put everyone of those words in Google and instantly got pages of answers for every one of them.
 
A bus (one "s") is any point at which two or more signals are combined into one signal. Aux is short for auxiliary and refers to any bus besides the main mix bus. A send is where signal is directed out from some point. A return is where a signal is brought back into a device (usually a mixing board).

"Bus" derives from Latin, as in omnibus. It comes from the same root as the kind of bus you ride and shares the "collective transportation" meaning, in the one case of people and in the other of signals. Technically "omni" is the part that means "all" and "ibus" is just a word ending, but that's how it worked out. "Buss" is a fuse company.

Did yo' mama have to tie your shoelaces for you this morning? Do some basic research on terminology. It's not hard. Then, if you don't understand, ask a specific question. Works better for everyone this way.
