Which is why something like an SC-SC duplex bulkhead mount is still called an "adapter"...
http://www.fs.com/narrow/sc-to-sc_v909t0/fiber-optic-adapters_1000 People in China do call them couplers. The word adapter is not bad, since you can mate just about any 2.5mm ferrule with another 2.5mm standard ferrule with the right adapter, and sometimes need to in order to connect to legacy networks.
