Why is the meaning of the vocabulary/jargon of the financial world so inaccessible to the extent that it is almost an entirely different language ?

Is it because the concepts these words represent are beyond your everyday individual's ability to comprehend and so utilization of these principles would be better left to the experts ?

The answer is no, these principles can be learned by anyone and everyone. In fact most of us are using them everyday, we just don’t know it.

The exclusionary nature of “financial speak” was created with intent when lending money at interest was illegal and so bankers/lenders, in order to confuse those that policed this prohibition, would write contracts between lender and borrower that were incomprehensible :  

Northern Italian bankers concealed interest behind euphemisms: interest was hidden by such innocuous terms as yield, gain, reward, rent, profit, fee, bond and forgone benefit…”  

(Raymond de Roover - quoted in the book; The Price of Time the Real Story of Interest by Edward Chancellor p.23)

This “custom” still continues today with the same intent - just watch Bloomberg news channel for 5 minutes and the glee on the presenters face of seemingly understanding each other while using words that mean nothing to anyone outside of their bubble compounded by the presence of very complicated looking charts and numbers flickering across the screen. It is enough to make anyone feel so financially inferior they’ll give up hope of ever making any effective amounts of money.
