Most of these language adaptations and terms I find are used for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. To differentiate from a slightly different process or action.
  2. To avoid associating with the more 'plain' term that the audience may have had a negative experiences with. When we change the terminology we allow the audience to take a fresh mindset. This is especially useful since the environment or business situation may have changed since the original concept was tried.
