Your point about what the name makes you “feel” is right on. No one will get out a dictionary to study meaning and etymology (like knowing lycosidae is a kind of spider that actively goes out to hunt its prey). People will look at a name and make an instant association that most likely will have nothing to do with the word’s dictionary definition.
