I was always curious why is it called Incognito or Private mode? Temporary or Guest session would make more sense: "You've entered a Temporary session. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved."

I don't believe it was ever called 'private mode', or am I wrong on this?

Private Browsing, for browsing private parts.
