How you can accelerate without speeding up?

You can accelerate without speeding up by increasing the rate at which you're changing your speed rather than increasing your overall speed.

Considering the scientific meaning of the word acceleration how could using the term acclerator when talking about a car's gas pedal lead to confusion?

When you push down on the cars accelerator, you are not always 'accelerating'. Sometimes, you are just pushing down to maintain a constant speed, because the engine wants to slow your motion down, that and the friction of your tyres on the road. Acceleration requires a rate of increase or decrease of speed. Hence the name 'accelerator' is misleading if your speed is not changing.
