user97878: I thought it would be like a label as in:
getnewaddress "myawesomelabel"
> bcrt11qay7aqw7azkqhpda22vuzxphkccgmcvc9grz8z

but then
generatetodescriptor 10 "myawesomelabel"
> myawesomelabel is not a valid descriptor function (code -5)

So all I believe I know is that a descriptor is not a label?
What is a descriptor?

user48884: If it were a label then the parameter would be named label.
Descriptor refers to output script descriptors which are described in this document as well as BIPs 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, and 386,
