A question I can’t resolve by Googling - has anyone attempted to create entirely new words to represent the concepts that master or slave have been used to represent?  e.g. a word that means "authoritative source of data that has no dependency on another source" and has no other meaning?

Why aren’t either primary or authoritative vs. copy/secondary/replica sufficient?

I don’t have an opinion on whether they are or not.  I was just interested in whether anyone is rethinking this from a different perspective.
