Of course milk doesn't mean milk anymore either, now that we got oat, almond and soy milk. Along with less common alternatives like coconut, hemp, rice, cashew and macadamia milk.

The dairy industry is actually pretty annoyed with that and tries to get the rules changed so those beverages can not be called milk.

By "anymore" do you mean for the past 600 years? Because almond milk goes back about as far as we have cookbooks that might mention it in english.
