“graduation tower” seems completely confusing to me, as in my language it does not use such semantics. So I’d fall back to plain English trying to decipher it, e.g. from
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.:
noun Conferral or receipt of an academic degree or diploma marking completion of studies.
noun A ceremony at which degrees or diplomas are conferred; a commencement.
noun A division or interval, as on a graduated scale.
noun A mark indicating the boundary of such a division or interval.
noun An arrangement in or a division into stages or degrees.
where I’d guess the first or second definition.
or on Wikipedia:
So, to me it would the the tower in which diplomas are being handed out to successful students in graduation ceremony. Something like “mage tower”, but not for mages… Which is not what this seems to be about.
If it is about salt, brine or evaporation of water, let’s have a tag which has some of those words in the name.
IOW, “graduation tower” is extremely confusing because:
- it has nothing to do with “Graduation”
- it is (often?) not a “tower”
Thus name of “Graduation tower” breaks all kinds of assumptions. Wikipedia also says they are often called thorn house (which is how they are commonly known in some languages too I guess), which I also find quite confusing (as they are neither houses [for people to live in], nor have anything to do with thorns [spiky parts of some flowers]).
Wherease for example “salt_concentration” makes complete sense, even to someone whose langue calls them completely differently, i.e. from name it is quite clear to anyone that it is something that has something to do with “salt” to make it more “concentrated”.
