What is up with all these big words?

See! That's something I don't understand. I looked up the word (which is supposedly a chemical name of something), but I can't imagine why anyone would take the time to come up with a word like that. I can understand creating synonyms to give your word a deeper and more subtle meaning, but some big words that people use just don't make sense to me. Who created these kinds of words and why?!?

all chemicals and enzymes were named like that before 1960. The names of proteins were named after all the amino acids found. The names would get too long, so they started shortening them.

its quite confusing to read an older medical encyclopedia, cause the names tend to be long and hard to follow.
