Apache. This was over 20 years ago. The web server that everyone seemed to be using was free to download and open source. That made a big impact on how I viewed free software, and encouraged me to use more of it.
I'm not disagreeing that it can sometimes happen as you've illustrated above. I am saying that it often does happen that coiners of new words know just what they mean by them. The person who came up with 'electrocute' knew exactly what he meant by it - to kill with electricity (notice how the word is a portmanteau of electricity and execute). That the word has started to be used by some as a word to mean something less specific is to me unfortunate, but is a good example of how words change over time. At any rate, it seems obvious that sometimes the definitions of words arrive fully formed at their birth, though not always so
You'd have to be pretty strict about what you mean by 'definition' in order to claim this. When words are coined, it seems likely that the speaker knows what he means by the word, even if he hasn't written the definition down somewhere
OP probably meant fish, octopus, and squid

I seem to know when timers will go off, and what time a clock will show, know how much time is left in a movie
Stupid brain keeps track of time pretty well, I guess
This would help so much. Not only would greatly increasing the number of representatives lead to fairer representation - it would decrease lobbyist power in the House (harder to buy a critical number of members when there are so many representatives).
