In Zebra plugin, a well-known synthesizer, there is a version with Hans Zimmer's custom presets. In this particular version of Zebra, there is a preset called "Hans Forlorn" which is a characteristic sound used in many sci-fi stories like: Blade Runner.

My question is: in the synth music production a "forlorn" is a type of designed sound?

Because, when you say "well, this is a pad sound", you instantly reconize a sound pattern.

No, it isn't. Forlorn is a feeling. As a sound designer, you may need a sound which evokes a particular feeling. If Hans thinks that sound has a forlorn feeling, then he can name it what he likes. Your milage may vary.
