Even and odd are not the same thing.

Even can mean level, flat, equal, parallel, etc. Odd can mean differing from what is normal/expected, peculiar, bizarre, more or less (as in I owe three hundred-odd dollars), etc.

In mathematical terms, even means numbers that can be divided by two without decimals, whereas if you divide odd numbers by two there will be a decimal.
