I was using the term in the general sense: capable of being understood. Not the narrow sense that refers specifically to vision.

Sure, that's reasonable. Kind of circles back to "a11y" being technical language, which refers to a term of art, "accessibility", which is not identical to the word "accessibility" itself. This is at least part of why it gets used, although the main reason is really that a11y is easy to write and fast to read, while accessibility is neither.
