A word only means something because all the parties who want to use that word, agree (whether or not they think they do) that this word will mean this thing. If over time, a culture begins to use the word in a different way or differently in other contexts, it's not because of anything intrinsic to the word, but simply because the parties or societies decided (whether or not they think they have) to "renegotiate".

one
a couple
very few
a few
several
many
very many (a great many)
a lot
too many
all the

and the boundaries within the spectrum are squishy
