...What I'm saying is, why invent a word that is not clear, when a clearer one would do the trick? ...
English language logical? Ghoti-sticks.  I just meant to make it clear that spatula- was also from a meaningful root. It's possible that it may have been clearer at the time the word was "invented" than it is now, i.e. nobody would be thinking avocado green nylon cooking implements when they heard it  .
