Because that is what a capacitor used to be called - a condenser.
Answer
Used in this context, the word 'condenser' is derived from the Latin for 'to make smaller'. Early capacitors, such as the Leyden Jar, were able to store separated electric charge in a much smaller volume than methods hitherto used. So early capacitors were called 'condensers'. In France and Germany the older term remains in use.

Why condenser used in tube light?
A tube light uses a condenser which is the old term for a capacitor. It functions as a small battery in a circuit.
What causes high head pressure in an air cooled condenser?
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
Why does a static condenser differ from synchronous condenser?
Unlike a static condenser (capacitor bank), the value of reactive power from a synchronous condenser can be continuously adjusted. A synchronous condenser also has other advantages over static condensers such as: - not being affecting by harmonics (some harmonics can even be absorbed by a synch condenser) - producing no switching transients
What is the other name for capacitor?
The other name for a capacitor is a "condenser." This term is often used in older literature and in specific applications, such as in audio equipment, where capacitors may be referred to as condensers due to their ability to store and release electrical energy. However, in modern terminology, "capacitor" is the more commonly used term.
If the condenser motor starts with a push is the starter capacitor shot?
Most likely, yes. The ultimate test is if it can be pushed in either direction and it stays running in that direction.
Definition of gang condenser in electronics?
In a radio receiver, a gang condenser is a type of air capacitor
How to test the pionts and condenser on a Ford truck?
Testing the condenser. (capacitor) Open the points and set the meter on ohms.
What is the function of the ac condenser capacitor in an air conditioning system?
The function of the AC condenser capacitor in an air conditioning system is to store and release electrical energy to help start the compressor and keep it running smoothly.
Is there a condenser on HEI ignition systems?
Yes there is a condenser on HEI systems with large cap with coil-in-cap. It may seem counterintuitive but yes there is. Follow along. A "condenser" is simply a capacitor. HEI do have a capacitor/condenser within harness and it's adjacent to plug that attaches to ignition control module (beneath rotor). The HEI condenser/capacitor is employed to suppress "radio noise". OE GM HEI have a round condenser while many aftermarket HEI have a squarish-flat condenser. A replacement for OE round HEI condenser is supplied by Standard Motor Products (aka Standard Ignition) as part number RC-3.
Why condenser used in tube light?
A tube light uses a condenser which is the old term for a capacitor. It functions as a small battery in a circuit.
What is the function of a condenser microphone?
A condenser microphone converts sound waves into electrical signals by using a capacitor to capture and amplify the vibrations in the air.
What causes a condenser fan to run backwards sometimes?
Usually a faulty startup capacitor.
Where is the capacitor located on an outside ac unit?
near the compressor on the wall of the cooling condenser
What causes high head pressure in an air cooled condenser?

Only in the spelling (capacitor or condenser).They are different names for the same thing.
