A convertible moment

When I was younger, I would have moments when I figured out why certain things were named what they were - "ding" it made sense in my head. Examples:

Convertible - cars that are convertible from topped to topless

Target (stores or shooting practice goal) - the target you aim for whether shopping or shooting

I just realized right now why medals are called medals - they are made of metal. Something normal people figured out years ago...

That doesn't make sense...I think they just sound the same. Check into that.

Coworker Carrie says it's short for medallion. Not because they're made of metal. She's smarter than you. She didn't say that, I did.

OK - I'm rethinking this... I guess my "moment" was realizing the two words were similar and related in SOME way. Is that safe to say?
