Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
dominant trait?
In mendels first experiments, he crossed pea plants to study seven different characteristics. For example he crossed plants that had purple flowers with plants that had whit flowers, the offsprings from such a cross are called first- generation plants. All of his first generation plants had purple flowers. One trait was always present in the first generation , and the other trait seemed to disappear. Mendel chose to call the trait that appeared the dominant trait. Because the other trait seemed to fade into the background, Mendel called it recessive trait.

he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
The spotted trait or broken trait (as rabbit breeders call it) will always be dominant. - Bunny Heaven Rabbitry
It is called an expressed trait.
Mendel's "factors" are now known as genes.
a recessive trait
Gregor Mendel discovered how genes were passed on from parent to offspring through his experiments.
