There is some common confusion between these two terms.
The word "permutation" in general refers to one of three things depending on context. It can mean the order (arrangement) of a set as in combinatorics. Or it can refer to an arrangement of a subset of a given size as also in combinatorics. Or it can refer to an OPERATION of REarrangement in a space of such operations as in group theory, which is a very different thing.
"Combination" refers only to the makeup (constituency) of a subset with no concept of order.
The term "combinations" refers to the number of subsets of a given size containing different constituents.
The combinatorial meanings of both of these terms are still valid when applied to sets with duplicate elements. A permutation (arrangement or rearrangement) can apply to a set or subset that contains duplicates. But "combination" usually assumes distinct elements in the subset, though the original set can contain duplicates. Of course, if so indicated, a combination could also contain duplicates. The presence of duplicates affects the combinatorial formulas for all of these.
