sample mean(x_bar) is estimator of the population mean and not "estimate"

In the video "Estimators and estimates", @1:00 it is said "sample mean(x_bar) is estimate of the population mean ".

Shouldn't it be "sample mean(x_bar) is estimator of the population mean and not  "estimate" " ?

If not , could you please give the reason for the same?

Hi there, the sample mean itself is the estimator (i.e. the concept of the sample mean), but the value of the sample mean is the estimator
