To answer your question, I don't think it matters what it's called, just that you learn what it means (just like any word).
As an aside, what you're describing isn't strictly currying. The key insight of currying is that a function of multiple arguments can be decomposed in to a series of function applications where each function takes only one argument - this is related to but not the same as partial application.
