What is the difference between degree 4 and quartic?

There is an inconsistency we identified through different reputable websites and textbooks about the degree of a polynomial. If there is an equation 3x^4 + x^3+ 5x^2, then would the degree be 4 or quartic? What is ultimately the difference between the the numerical value of the degree (4) and the type of polynomial (quartic)?
