Wiki says one meaning of the word graft is to take tissue from one part of the body and put it on another for which it was not originally intended. This meaning evolved to include the political arena where a politician takes funds intended for one purpose and diverts them to something else for which they were not intended, for his own gain. The articles goes on to say that this usage is unheard of in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graft_(politics)

I mean tin vs. aluminum foil is the most obvious example though I’m sure there are more. Although tin foil stopped being produced in favor of aluminum foil after WWII, many people still call it tin foil even though it’s almost always aluminum foil. For that reason making the jump from aluminum to tin was easy for me realizing the second clue could only really be “kin” since it had to be one syllable. It’s kind of a similar phenomenon to the brand name vs. product name phenomenon where people call products by their most prevalent brand name like Kleenex for tissues or Hoover for vacuums in the UK except instead of being brand names (which in some cases is an old popular brand name that no longer exists) it’s just the old product name being used for the new, similar product.
