Not so sure about that
Many words, especially combined ones, have implicit meaning, because of the words they use
It’s not like ‘chainsaw’ could mean a ‘mouse trap’, because we already know what a saw and what a chain is
Of course in principle words are consensual social constructs, but I always find it highly irritating, that we throw out the baby with the water, by saying, nothing means anything until we decide on it
