Sure, you could also argue the same about all the words in the dictionary, because at some point everyone had to learn what the words they are using mean. Howe

Sure, you could also argue the same about all the words in the dictionary, because at some point everyone had to learn what the words they are using mean. However, "serverless" is pretty much the only concept (please post more examples if you know of any), which is used to talk about something that is not the literal meaning of the word (it's etymology). The word "serverless" literally means "without server", but it's being used to mean something that requires a server. It's almost as if ethernet connections had been branded/marketed as "wireless".
