A pedigree is a description of the descent of people or animals. The word is derived from the Anglo-Norman pe de gru, a variant of Old French pié de gru ("foot of a crane"), and ultimately from Latin pedem ("foot") + gruem("crane")
Why is that word used with that meaning? Because it is. Words may have derivations, but in the end their meaning is arbitrary, requiring only that most people using the word agree on it.

What tracks which members of a family have a particular trait?
Since there could be literally millions of traits that could be tracked, I doubt if a comprehensive chart exists. However, I have seen people create their own list of traits and then assign them to family members. For example, you would assign codes to the traits you want to track (hair color/bl=black;br=brown;bd=blond;rd=red; etc.), then have a field (or column) where you would enter the code. You could have a field (or column) for each trait you wanted to track.
