In another sense, he's only a tight end when he's the last player on his side flush with the line of scrimmage (i.e. an End) while not being the furthest player from center (i.e. not a Split End.)
Semantically speaking, an end may be both "tight" to the offensive formation and the furthest player from center on that side.
See: weak side of Single Wing, weak side of Wing T, Jumbo I, Maryland I, Power T formation, et cetera.
