THAT is the question.

If
THEY need a new word in
THEIR jargon then it is a question for
THEM to answer. All the different fields of science and engineering have their own jargon, but specialized jargon seldom makes it into the general language, probably for good reason. If it is beneficial for them they are probably bright enough to work it out on their own. That would seem to make this whole line of questioning moot, IMHO.
