I knew what this module is for, I just don’t know why they choose this name – shutil. It is hard to remember this kind of “random” name if I don’t know where it come from. Please give me some hints, thanks.

It means “shell utilities”, sh standing for shell, util standing for utilities.
If you think about what shutil does, that makes sense (manipulate the filesystem, make archives, etc.).
