Mathematicians are happy to make up names from words with little or no comprehensible connection to the concept, such as Ring, Field, Magma, Group. That, or they name things after people, which is equally impenetrable. Doctors and biologists either name something after people, too, or create a Lego-word out of Classical roots which more-or-less describes it.
