Etymology
The phrase "a categoria ontológica" combines "categoria," from the Greek 'kategoria,' meaning 'accusation' or 'predicate,' later evolving to mean 'class' or 'category,' and "ontológica," derived from 'ontology,' the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being. Did you know? The term 'ontology' comes from the Greek 'ontos' meaning 'being' and 'logia' meaning 'study,' so "a categoria ontológica" literally means a class or category related to the study of being.
