Pretty sure seals were named after seals.

English sucks ass and it's all the fault of people who pronounce the word "avove" with two distinct vowel sounds like weirdos.

If you'd like to have your mind blown by something you haven't ever thought that hard about before in your life, sit down and try to come up with a list for all the definitions and use contexts for the word "set."
