Why are cottage cheese pancakes called cottage cheese pancakes, not curd makers?

Cheesecakes are quite an ancient dish. Already in the XIX century, it was an ancient dish, and this is not surprising, since it was prepared in pagan Russia.This also explains their round shape, which the Slavs associate with the ancient sun god, Yarilo.

But here the word "cottage cheese" appeared much later than the recipes of cheesecakes. This happened in the eighteenth century, when cheese production was actively developing, and Dutch, German, Swiss and French appeared on the food market. Then all rennet cheeses began to be called cheeses, and the product obtained by the method of fermenting milk was called cottage cheese. From the word "create."

By the way, such a division in terminology is present only in Russian. In Ukrainian, for example, rennet cheeses and cottage cheese are called in one word - “cheese”.
