A wormhole was a stable gravitic anomaly that caused a flaw in normal space providing access through hyperspace between widely separated points.

They normally consisted of a wormhole junction and its associated termini, but could also consist of only two termini forming a wormhole bridge or "hyper bridge". (HH13)

Although the existence of wormholes was theorized as early as 1391 PD, the possibility that they might be used as a means of effectively instantaneous faster-than-light (FTL) travel was not realized until 1429 PD and the first successful transit had not occurred until 1447 PD. (infodump,Companion)

The largest junction known to exist was the Manticore Wormhole Junction, with seven termini discovered as of 1922 PD. (HH1, SI1)
