You're right if you approach the menu entry from the perspective that the
dialog being about a paragraph, and that's why it called paragraph.

I approach differently and have tendency to include what it 'does'. The
paragraph dialog has as object a "specific piece of text in the document". The
dialog applies Direct Formatting to an Paragraph (a specific piece of text in
the document.)
Also observe the following:
1. Open Writer
2. Press Right Click
3. Notice Entry Character & Paragraph
4. Expand one of those
5. To one is for Paragraph' Paragraph.. (DF)
6. Below the separator line there a presets for formatting. In casu these are
Paragraph Styles, but these could have been Paragraph DF presets.
Offtopic comment: I would actually more or less expect Paragraph DF presets
compared to Paragraph DF styles if have paragraph containing 'hello world' and
select only world and right right click you expect to 'style' affect that
specific range but well this is not the case with Paragraph Styles (those are
about the full paragraph). but technically outside the scope here)
7. The last entry is 'Edit Style'.
Offtopic comment: If you right click within a paragraph or select a range of
text followed by right click you expect 'Edit Styles' to affect that specific
range ('this paragraph or this select, I would). However you're actually
editing the style document wide.. (but technically outside the scope here)

In my perception paragraph being used used multiple contexts:
1) Paragraph "the specific piece of text in the document".
2) Paragraph as category ((hypernym) contain the settings regarding a Paragraph
Paragraph Style & Paragraph ... (Paragraph DF) (see context menu)
3) Paragraph.. as name for an specific dialog regarding a paragraph. It opens
a Paragraph DF dialog. So you apply Paragraph DF to an Paragraph.
Also if you have a paragraph formatted with a paragraph style, and you open the
Format -> Paragraph dialog some users might (initially) expect LibreOffice to
be 'smart' and get the 'Paragraph Styles' dialog.
