Etymology
Poisoning comes from an old word for a 'drink' and is the same root as potion, but the computing use is a modern picture: attackers add bad data like someone adding poison to a drink. A helpful way to remember it is that data poisoning spoils or 'contaminates' the training material so the model behaves badly.
