It happens with other languages also, in Portugal for instance we use
the word "condensador" refering to such diferent devices as:
        Moisture (I'm not sure is the correct word but hope you undestand it)
condenser on air-conditioning systems, steam machines, laundry dryers,
and also 'Capacitors' in electronics.
