For me I pictured "master" as perfecting something. So when I asked someone as a noob why things were being switched from master to main I was surprised at the possibility that it could be related to master/slave, but completely understood why from that point.

I wonder if you could think of another word besides slave terminology that might mean that.

Like maybe the "perfect" version?
