Bear in mind though that the meaning for a lot of UI terms is not immediately known or guessable but as long as they become commonplace then they may be considered sufficiently learnable. Think of "window" and "mouse" for example. The first time someone ever used a computer, when they didn't already know the meaning of these terms, asking them to "move the mouse to that window" would probably produce a blank stare. But these terms are so universal that they are easily learnable. The person doesn't even have to know that a mouse is a small rodent with a long tail. Not sure if breadcrumb falls into that bracket though. It's debatable.
