Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's hardly odd. "Even" just means "divisible by 2" "2 is the only prime that is divisible by 2" "3 is the only prime that is divisible by 3" "5 is the only prime that is divisible by 5" ... "N is the only prime that is divisible by N"

Exactly, we could also have a word for multiple of three or multiple of five
