Redstone Repeaters are a vital part of nearly every thinkable redstone contraption. They were one of the first redstone components to be added into the game, and, apparently, have always had the same name, 'Redstone Repeaters', but I am so, so sure it used to be called 'Redstone Delay'. I can't remember how long ago this was, but it was sometime around 2014 or 2015. I was on Xbox 360, so PS3 users, this one should apply to you as well. Do any of you remember it? I've looked so hard on the internet but have found nothing about this beloved block's former name. I hope I haven't gone insane...
They were never called Redstone Delays. It's always been repeaters. Sometimes I've heard "diode," but before repeater blocks, even those two-torch contraptions people used to extend redstone signals were called repeaters.

I'm gonna buy a cheap bouquet before it dies on the display.
You see, back then I knew nothing about redstone. I'd never done any and didn't plan on doing any either, but now I know they, as well as repeating a signal strength, delay a signal. So I can't be imagining this.

I dont think so I can see why they could be called that as they can delay redstone signals for a few seconds

They might've been referred to as delays informally (i.e. "you'll want a delay right here" in a tutorial video, or something) but never officially.
