Can someone help with the semantics of mastery learning vs. competency based learning?

There doesn't seem to be clarification about what "competency" means in the context of competency based learning which makes it difficult to understand what competency based learning is exactly, and there doesn't seem to be clarification about the difference between mastery learning and competency based learning. Like is competency based learning just a rehash of mastery based learning? Or is it actually different?
