The word lick in American slang literally means “small amount.” It is a familiar term that was initially associated with jazz and blues and later to rock when artists started playing with jazz influences. The definition of lick depends on the type of music: jazz and blues guitarists tend to talk about licks only during an improvisation. In this case, a lick is a small sequence of notes used in combination with others to improvise. A lick could also be a unit of measurement of a solo that can be divided into licks, even if it is an arbitrary process.
