This is quite common in scientific research. The typical algorithm I follow is to reframe the problem in the language of different fields and see whether there is a more useful way of tackling it in that framework. There are always some leaks in the abstraction/translation but often by reframing the problem you find a good-enough solution.
A thing I've often fantasized about is some sort of mega-conference where top luminaries from every academic field get together and hammer out a global namespace of jargon, resolving all collisions so that no longer can a term mean eight different things in eight different fields.
Imagine the global boost in productivity and knowledge-sharing...
I fantasize about this sometimes for scientific purposes. Part of the challenge is how to keep the barrier to entry low enough that people stay excited and creative, because the opposite is the world of regulated industries where your way of thinking is heavily influenced by the legal framework. Periodic synchronization helps and the best I have seen in person at the Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) since these tend to be narrow enough to have consensus but still broad enough to get a little bit of perspective
