Here is another good question why is a Knight called a knight when it looks like a horse but in Spanish it is called a caballo meaning horse???

what are you talking about?? I think it may be time to up the voltage on the shock treatment.
A rook is short for "rookie".

This is a question that I've been asking myself ever since I've been 12 however to answer my own question and yours as well, as it's a building as opposed to live beings like the other pieces, I guess they have tried to make the castle a live being too by calling it a rook? In literal terms a rook is a large black bird that would potentially sit atop of the castle to embrace its own territory? So the bird is then what makes the castle a live piece like the others?

You don't know about the Marquess of Queensberry.
That is just some guy who endorsed the rules of boxing. It doesn't mean the name was directly associated with boxing.
If the designers of Chess pieces wanted them to represent cannons , etc., wouldn’t every ordinary Joe like me get a bit confused because they look like castles
I can't post pics or addresses yet, but if you google you can see holes for cannons. Look up "embrasure".
