I'm pretty sure there's a formal mechanism to suggest tag synonyms but I can't find it and no one ever votes there anyway, so:

It would make it equally easy to find and relatively clearer on what it entails.

    $\begingroup$ There is a formal way to suggest synonyms, namely here, but that page is so well-hidden that very few people use it... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Ah, hidden at the bottom of the tags page ─ I looked for it but I could only find it via google search.

Of course. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ General tip: For users without sufficient privileges, synonym tags can also be suggested on this meta page. $\endgroup$

I can't think of anything else that the tag would be used for, at least not within the scope of actual physics (and hence of this site). Unless there is some such thing, yes, I'd say go for it.

Of course there do seem to be some existing questions with the tag which would not apply to. Most of them are probably off topic, and any others should have the tag removed. So we may want to do a bit of cleanup before actually making the switch.
