I am a novice designer and I have such a stupid question. What does the VCC abbreviation mean on the pins of the scalers? I met this designation in the description of the pins of the elements (e.g. in LM324).

supply voltage, i.e. (+) then GND stands for (-) or mass?

Minus can also be labeled Vdd and GND stands for Ground or ground.

I will throw in my 3 cents and say that apart from VCC, GND you will also meet VEE one day. It is used for symmetrical power supply of some integrated circuits, ie it can be, for example, VCC = + 5V, GND = 0V, VEE = -5V.
