Words are funny things, empty of any inherent meaning. (If words had inbuilt meaning then we would not have to learn a foreign language, it would just be understood).

Now the trouble is we use words to teach the meaning of new ones, none of us have the same understanding and take the same meaning from them, there will be everything from very subtle differences in understanding to gross differences and associated feelings.

Then there are some words that we just don't like for no good reason, (as we are not rational beings)
I don't like the word 'bachelor', i suspect because it sounds like 'spatula' which i suspect i don't like because i my mind it is in the same catagory as those salad tosser things which as a child i had a phobia of, i mean they ain't spoons and they ain't forks, what the hell are they
