Hmmm. My EE degree is 56 years old, but the term seems quite clear and
descriptive to an old fart like me!
It's been done in audio systems for at least four decades, where it uses
motional feedback from the loudspeakers to which the systems were
carefully matched. The implementation was intended to correct for
non-linearities in the loudspeakers, which are far greater than in the
electronics.
