[R] Does "sink" stand for anything?

[John Sorkin]

Sink is meant to mean send output to the location I specify. It has no hidden meaning that I am aware of.

Hello Everyone,
 
Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.
 
One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?
 
Thanks,
 
Paul
