Although now we make and eat pickled vegetables because we like the taste, pickling was originally developed in order to enable vegetables to store longer. Calling a serializer "pickle" isn't unreasonable.

It's not unreasonable, but it's still obscure. Calling a time utility Delorean isn't unreasonable, despite also being obscure.
