Morphology

vocabulary = vocab (semi-transparent) = vocab + ulary

The technical computing sense ('set of tokens') is an extension of 'set of words', so the morphological relation is clear but the specialized meaning may be unfamiliar to general learners.

Etymology

The word vocabulary comes from the Latin vocabulum 'name' and vocare 'to call', so it has always meant a list of names or words. In computing, a model's vocabulary is simply the set of tokens or symbols it knows and can produce, which is why we use the same word.
