Actually, the c part
is a designation of tire width, just not that tire's width. The original French system had 700 as the overall diameter of the wheel (including tire) and A, B, C, or D as the tire widths. So you're right that the C has nothing to do with the 32mm width of that specific tire, but it did historically designate the tire width.
EDIT: I realize I'm being a pain in the ass with this post. Sorry
