I had always figured Boba Fett and Han Solo had some past not mentioned in the films....
I imagined them not having a past so much as just a mutual knowledge & general dislike of each other. Two less-than-honest fellows who made a point of staying out of each other's way.
I always kind of saw Fett as doing this job for the money more like a mercenary,
That's how it felt to me also. Boba Fett was just a hired gun with no real loyalties or connections to anyone. Same with the others we see briefly.
I think bounty hunter is a fitting term and not being used to avoid any other designation.
