Definition adjoint

Etymology

From French adjoindre (“to join”), from late 19th C; see also adjoin.

In the case of category theory (which brings together concepts from numerous fields), the term is often confounded with adjunct and the relationship is called an adjunction. The origin of any particular usage may therefore be uncertain.
