maybe  but by the same token if you where to call a program relating to cars 
"induction manifold" then most car drivers would not have a clue that it was 
to do with cars 

by the way distemper has more than 1 definition 
http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?Distemper
maybe that gives a better understanding that its definition is taken in 
context with the actual subject rather than the word itself alone out of 
context 

easal  although rather a tacky name at least has its meaning intact out of 
context
