How can it be a 0-day vulnerability if it was addressed in a patch that came out more than a day ago?

I understand patch cycles and I'm not hating on them for not having the latest update when it's been less than a week but still...

It is a 0-day because the vulnerability was disclosed publicly before the patch was made available.
