To elaborate - a tooltip is a thing that pops up when you hover over an icon button or other non-verbal thing, that tells you what that image is in words. You're hovering over the dock icon (at the end of the day, an icon button), and it's telling you What That Thing Is
Isn’t it curious that your definition of the word has little to do with the meanings of the parts of the word?
Isn't it curious that clicking on a radio button doesn't change the music I'm listening to? Clearly inaccurate usage of the term
That's fine if we just have a funny name for a single idea (radio button originates from old car radios where pushing one button in pops the others out). But we have multiple things people call "tooltips".
I mean, if you separate the UI from the UX I don't think we do - tooltips certainly have vastly different styles and looks, but fundamentally they're still solving The Same Problem
What would you say that problem is?
