I think about naming of things all the time: how they make some things easier and other things absolutely awful. My two recent hang-ups: Agile with capital A. If we applied the principles of Agile without naming the process would software engineering be at a better place? I think there is a case to be made for not naming such things but just describe the principles of the process for a better, un-enshittified outcome. The other is ROC (receiver operating characteristic) used in statistics and machine learning. The current usage is very divorced from its original meaning (related to radars as I understand) and it sounds very stupid when used in its current context. It is just a simple ratio of a few statistical measures. I think using such names actually makes things even less understandable. On the other hand, definitions (ie, naming things) is very useful in math and other disciplines.
