Is there a scientific reason why goats are the GOAT animal? Can we scientifically study language to determine why goats are called "goats"?

Old English gat "she-goat," from Proto-Germanic *gaito (source also of Old Saxon get, Old Norse geit, Danish gjed, Middle Dutch gheet, Dutch geit, Old High German geiz, German Geiß, Gothic gaits "goat"), from PIE *ghaid-o- "young goat," also forming words for "to play" (source also of Latin hædus "kid").

It's called "etymology".

That's the study field of metaphysics.
Did you think this for yourself or just wanted to know if anyone knew it?
