If "category" has a better name....

Isn't it just "composite"?

Every arrow in category can be composed, the set(or class or whatnot..) of that is composite.

I guess all the good names were taken.

Categories are just the same as half of math, with less historical cargo so that they can all forced to look the same. But well, that historical stuff already took all the names.

I came up with "composite".

If people would accept "category"..... I mean, we could also have accepted anything, except the new one can express its semantics.

"Composition" is one of those historically loaded names.
