Hyphenation of categories

How to hyphenate categories

categories is a polysyllabic word with 3 syllables. Using the Knuth-Liang algorithm, we calculated the hyphenation for the word you’ve entered. However, this hyphenation has not been verified against authoritative sources and may be approximate. This is because the algorithm relies on pre-defined patterns that may not cover all exceptions, contextual variations, or irregular spellings. We are working to verify hyphenations against trusted sources to ensure greater accuracy. For now, categories is hyphenated as:

cat-e-gories

Syllables Count: 3
Characters Count: 10
Alpha-numeric Characters Count: 10
Hyphens Count: 2

Hyphenation performed using the Knuth-Liang word-division algorithm. This result is approximate and has not been verified against authoritative sources.

Definitions of categories

categories is defined as:

Definition 1 as noun

noun
A group, often named or numbered, to which items are assigned based on similarity or defined criteria.
Example: I wouldn't put this book in the same category as the author's first novel.
noun
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.
Example: 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.

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of dividing words across lines in print or on websites. It involves inserting hyphens (-) where a word breaks to continue on the next line.

Proper hyphenation improves readability by reducing the unevenness of word spacing and unnecessary large gaps. It also helps avoid confusion that may occur when part of a word carries over. Ideal hyphenation should break words according to pronunciation and syllables. Most word processors and publishing apps have automated tools to handle hyphenation effectively based on language rules and dictionaries. Though subtle, proper hyphenation improves overall typography and reading comfort.
