from Words for Granted - An etymology and linguistics podcast

In the court system of Ancient Athens, the kategoria was a formal accusation. However, when the philosopher Aristotle borrowed the word kategoria to enumerate his 'categories of being,' he intended it to mean the 'highest order of classification.' Over the course of this episode, we explore the subtle link between an 'accusation' and 'categorization.'
