Is there really a watch part called "Wave of Unrest"?

Saw this listed for sale on eBay under the title "Wave of Unrest"

"Wave of Unrest" sounds like it's probably a mistranslation of oscillation - the purpose of the balance. The part itself is a balance staff.

Sounds like a translation of the German word “Unruhwelle” (balance staff) that went wrong (Unruhe = unrest & Welle = wave)

You mostly find these at Rolex dealers...
