Were the authors of Accelerate.framework unaware of the word Accelerate, which has shipped with the English language since the 1500s?

Overlaps in naming happen, especially when we all want to choose simple and catchy words like "Accelerate."

Damn you for making me look in the OED thinking surely there’s an earlier usage of the word given it’s Latin roots and seeing the first citation as 1535.
