Can we add an admonition about why cork, cork, cork is fine. Cork is a material (wood from Quercus suber) and a function (stopper) a cork cork is a stopper made from wood. A plastic cork is a stopper made of plastic.

The above component is a cork cork.

Adding

In the above example the cork base material, is converted into the cork material and then a cork component.
This might seem confusing, but cork is both a material from the Quercus suber (aka cork oak), and component called a cork (aka a stopper or bung). This confusion is intentional to show that in this example the cork is made of cork. Whereas corks can also be made from plastic.
