Why the word 'define' is chosen to create a project?

The word 'define' makes me thinking I'm creating a ruby method, rather than
a project, because it's too close to ruby keyword 'def'. Even if 'def' is
not a ruby keyword, 'define' really means define anything, much more than
just a project.

And I always feel it's natural to define a project with the word 'project',
rather than the word 'define'. Probably we have 'project' used every
elsewhere, such as Ant, Maven, Java IDEs, MS Visual Studios, anything else?

Although 'define' cannot be dropped, can we just allow the word 'project' be
used to create a project by something like method alias?
