I understand the following:
A set of permissions for a given file is usually represented by a bit stream of machine code (a bit field).
A Bitwise operation is the name for several operations on one or more bit patterns of a given bit field.
A mask is any data executed in any bitwise operation.
How those a mask differs from a umask?

umask, utime, and ulimit were added in USG UNIX and then other UNIXes adopted them. u probably stands for user.
