Q:

Why are Python Lists called 'lists' when they are implemented as dynamic arrays

I am no expert in how Python lists are implemented but from what I understand, they are implemented as dynamic arrays rather than linked lists. My question is therefore, if python lists are implemented as arrays, why are they called 'lists' and not 'arrays'. 
Is this just a semantic issue or is there some deeper technical reason behind this. Is the dynamic array implementation in Python close to a list implementation? Or is it because the dynamic array implementation makes its behaviour closer to a list's behaviour than an array? Or some other reason I do not understand?
To be clear, I am not asking specifically how or why Python lists are implemented as dynamic arrays, although that might be relevant to the answer. 

A:

They're named after the list abstract data type, not linked lists. This is similar to the naming of Java's List interface and C#'s List<T>.
