    Objects are usually named after their discoverers or inventers.....all words are drived from the original languages that we all spoke,such as latin...and get abbreviated over the years.............

    say the word defence or expire over and over.... eventually they will have no meaning and you will begin to question whether you have just made it up...

    it works with most words really.

    Bakewell is weird
    what if they made a Bakewell, that wasnt baked well at all.. Like something from my Home Economics class (I thought adding sugar to sausage rolls would make them taste nice, how wrong i was!
    Would it still be a bakewell?

    yes, it would still be called a "bakewell" because the cake, if you like, orginated from the town Bakewell. I've been there aswell - it's a rubbish town.
