@Piriform's @CCleaner introduced me to #Kamo (Privacy App)

on
#Piriform (maker of #CCleaner) answers a few questions about Kamo in the FAQ linked through 'the main words' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The name “Kamo” is (I'm guessing) a play on the first syllables of #Camouflage (although it might be a play on the first syllable of #Chameleon, as indicated by the program's logo).

 The word "Camouflage" is built on ancient words that mean "to Disguise" (|Muffle the |Head, Blow |Smoke in the Face).

The word "Chameleon" is built on ancient words that mean Earth |Lion. #Cameleon

The name "CCleaner" comes from (I'm guessing) the idea that it Cleans your C-|Drive (erasing history-files that only slow it down if you aren't using them anymore).

The name "Piriform" means "|Shaped like a |Pear" and may be a reference to the British slang "when things go |Pear-|Shaped" (when schemes are Poorly Executed, as when unskilled pilots would attempt complex maneuvers in the Royal Air Force and their exhaust-trails would not be the Perfect |Circles that GOOD pilots leave!)---the idea being that their programs 'put you back on the perfect-circle track!'
