Etymology
The word "categoria" comes from the Latin 'categoria,' which in turn comes from the Greek 'katēgoria,' meaning 'accusation' or 'statement.' Over time, its meaning evolved to indicate a class or division used to organize or classify things. Did you know that the original Greek sense was more about making a declaration than grouping things together?
