Colors get trademarked too. Which is why when you want, say, and nice basic blue to paint a room with, you have to pick between a buncha wild names

The company I buy my 3D printing filament from has also quite wild names for their color like the blue shades are called Shallow water, soft Breeze and deep Ocean ^^°

And don’t forget how words from other languages just get mushed into the English language lol.

I'm pretty sure every language has loanwords from others at this point

Modern words are a hoot, because it's almost the same in every language but with the speaker's accent and maybe a little fancier spelling. Telephone, telefono, telefoon, telefoanina, telefonit, fòn, annnd then more blunt references like "tarho" meaning "distortion", which is certainly more accurate in poor service areas.
