Wife, for years, thought the “second hand” on a clock was called that because it was the “2nd” hand on the clock…which confused her. Took her over 30 years to realize it’s the “seconds” hand because it counts seconds.

I guess she is not entirely off, either. It’s called that because it is the second division of an hour.
