Is onClick really an Event Handler?

[Guest_imported]

In my book author calls onClick method from Button object an Event Handler,but isn't onClick actually a method that fires an event and not an Event Handler.
Do we call methods that fire an event event handlers? I thought that an event being fired calls a delegate and than this delegate calls subscribed event handlers?Am I right?

Thank you in advance for helping me

PS:I know I have to write 'onClick="name of the method to call" ' to actually call suscribed
method
