Solution
Adductors and Abductors are named for their function. The term "adductor" refers to muscles that draw a body part inward toward the midline of the body, and "abductor" refers to muscles that move a body part outward from the midline of the body.
On the other hand, Rectus femoris is named for its location and appearance (it's a straight muscle located in the femoral region), and Deltoid is named for its triangular shape (like the Greek letter Delta).
