Why does the term “hook” exist in both Java and React, and do they share any similarities?

Is there a similarity between them that everyone is overlooking, or are they just named that way by coincidence?

I didn’t find any significant similarity between hooks in Java and React. Though both are termed ‘hooks,’ they serve distinct purposes. In Java, hooks are often lifecycle callbacks, while in React, they manage state and effects in functional components. It seems the use of the term ‘hook’ in both contexts is more related to naming rather than any fundamental functional similarity.
