To start a play both teams line up in an approved formation. Those who are directly on the line are called lineman. Those standing behind them are line backers. The ones giving support from the corners (out by the people trying to catch the ball:receivers) are called corner backs. And the ones way back for safety measures (ball being thrown way down field) are called safteys.

Offsides, means someone was over the line

False start: means someone on the line started moving before the play started.

Not that you likely care about any of it but all of the names in football are very basic straight to the point names.

"Hands to the face" <hitting someone's helmet/face region

"Facemask" < grabbing someone's face mask "Unnecessary roughness" < you got it

Most of them are all there to reduce injuries and balance the chances/advantages of each side.

Sports are meant to be easy so anyone can pick them up quickly. The hardest part of football is just understanding you have 4 downs to move 10 yards. Failure to do so, ball goes to the other team.
