        There's a certain tendency in English to transfer meanings. I believe 
that it is called something like 'schnectady' (it's a VERY long time since I 
was in college.) You find that the meaning moves from a thing to something 
near it, i.e. 'sconce' once meant 'hat', and then transferred itself to the head 
that was wearing it... or maybe vice versa. There are other examples - help 
me, someone!
