I mean, it's not the only word in programming that's overloading a word with a mathematical definition. Just off the top of my head:

- function

- set

- map

- monad

- vector

- field

- class

Some of them are obviously referring to something else entirely. Some of them are kind of like the math thing but subtly different.

Tensor.

The term is used to mean “multi-dimensional array” in the machine learning community.

That is however not a tensor.
