Out Of The Mouth Of The Horse:

| Now the discovery of ideas as general as these is chiefly
| the willingness to make a brash or speculative abstraction,
| in this case supported by the pleasure of purloining words
| from the philosophers:  "Category" from Aristotle and Kant,
| "Functor" from Carnap ('Logische Syntax der Sprache'), and
| "natural transformation" from then current informal parlance.
