In Hebrew, as the language, as apposed to gentile languages (based on consensus – so when we all agree a cup is a cup, a cup is a cup) the words actually come from God – as such, every word represents its true characteristic; this was the wisdom of Adam that perceived the characteristic of all of God creatures, he could discover their name (like donkey-chamoir comes from the word chomer-coarse/stubborn, as the saying stubborn as a mule.)
