Most all languages have words with multiple meanings.
English, i think more so than others.
Also similar items often have many names
take for example the terms used for a group of aminals:
some that I can think of:
hummingbirds, any one of words:
a bouquet
a glittering
a hover
a shimmer
a tune
then there's:
a murder of crows
a gaggle of geese
a flock of seagulls
a herd of cows
a pride of lions
a scold of jays
a crash of rhinos
an ambush of tigers
this all originated from a very old (several hundreds of years) hunting book.
