"Call 'it' something 'meaningful'"?? "Currying" is meaningful...

Perhaps you just aren't comfortable with the idea that its meaning wasn't formed via some sort of compounding pattern you thought would be more inherently meaningful(?), or maybe you feel the need for natural language to be as precise as your programs?

There are lots of different ways that new words come into a language, and one of them is "verbificiation" of a noun (sometimes even a proper one). In this case, Haskell Curry was "verbified", and so now we have "currying". I don't care to speculate as to why "currying" was favored over "some-compounding-of-words-that-you-think-precisely-conveys-the-exact-meaning", but I assure you the first person to use "currying", did it because they thought in that moment that that was the best way to meaningfully convey the idea they were talking about, and the others around that person (implicitly) agreed by using it too. If you really think you can do better, start calling it something else; if it's any good, it'll catch on.
