I'm not sure. I'm not totally opposed, but I'm not convinced either: even if it wrong, the names are "culturally correct", if you will. Names partial-apply and partial-reverse-apply would be my preferred ones if we did the renaming.

I find them too long. Long names can distract from the intent of the actual code. They're supposed to merely combine domain-level logic, but being long they make the impression they're more than that.

FWIW, I agree with Tobias' arguments.

I'd vote for PAPPLY (and probably by extension REVPAPPLY) if there is to be a name change.
