  1. Category as a noun:

    A group, often named or numbered, to which items are assigned based on similarity or defined criteria.

    Examples:

  2. Category as a noun (mathematics):

    A collection of objects, together with a transitively closed collection of composable arrows between them, such that every object has an identity arrow, and such that arrow composition is associative.

    Examples:

    "One well-known category has sets as objects and functions as arrows."

    "Just as a monoid consists of an underlying set with a binary operation "on top of it" which is closed, associative and with an identity, a [[category]] consists of an underlying digraph with an arrow composition operation "on top of it" which is transitively closed, associative, and with an identity at each object. In fact, a [[category]]'s composition operation, when restricted to a single one of its objects, turns that object's set of arrows (which would all be loops) into a monoid."
