There are no "hidden meanings". You're making them up.

edit :

Words, like functions, work best when their meaning is simple and clear. Like functions, there's nothing wrong with combining them (e.g. "good programmer", "passionate programmer", "programming craftsman", "software composer"), but shoehorning multiple definitions into a single word will just inevitably lead to confusion.
