Interesting thought. Allah knows best.
This example shows us how it is important to find the core meaning of the root of a word before putting a form.
I saw your translation of 5:90 ".. The Certain Facts About the Alcoholic Beverages and Gambling ...". and the word "wal-maysiru" by "Gambling".
What is the relationship between the core meaning of "ease" that comes from this root and the word "Gambling"?
Peace.
Good point.
