On the contrary, it IS fairly logical. It a loop (or, more accurately,
lots of loops) of wire, wound on a ferrite stick.

Called a coil. A loop is singular.

Ferrite rod says what it is. What 'hobbyists' or other such ridiculous US
inventions decide to call such things isn't of much concern in the UK.
