Answer
The term "law" as it pertains to physics or logic comes from the idea that "whatever gods may be" decreed the way the universe should work, therefore gravity and other forces are divine "laws". This notion has been abandoned by science in general as these "laws" can often be bent or broken. The term now refers to a basic behavior which is universally consistent so far as we know, like gravity. We've never seen an instance where gravity acted any other way than it does right now, so we call it a law, principle, or constant.
