Well your link provides "to travel at a moderately fast, easily controllable speed" which would fall into the same category of making sense for a cruise missile but not in a flight regime sense.
Cruise missiles were probably named by a layperson who used the lay definition of cruise, not the technical definition as understood by a pilot.
