As you said, “it’s just a word,” and words can have several meanings. This is just one example: you gave a definition of chaos “in your philosophy,” but arguing about definitions (and philosophies) is usually pointless.

The last paragraph was written because of the use of the phrase "to me," in the original comment, motivating a defense of why it is a good idea to use what the word means to physicists, as opposed to what it means to other groups.
Me writing, "it describes a system that is too complicated at the current moment in time to unravel into a deterministic system" uses the word "unravel" as how humans are incapable of understanding all the cause & effects in the current moment of time; when they define it as chaos but may eventually be able to understand all the cause & effects.
I have no understanding to why you wrote your last paragraph in the original comment to me and how the comments transpired from then to now; other than you have a fragile ego to how I prefer to use my expression of the word chaos.
