Sorry, I wasn't right. context uses a default width for head. Accidentally the longest
term I used in my document was almost the same as the default head width, therefore
I thought that the head was calculated according to my term's width.

Thank you. I read it. I have a question: is it possible to add some text or command
between the head and text in description? For example a dash or symbol which separates the head from the text. In enumerations it seems to be different, because
there the variable head (title) goes after a static head. I would need the opposite:
variable head part - static head part. I tried to use headcommand option but it puts
stuff before head.

I see.
Thank you again,
