The cognitive process of grouping objects, events, or ideas that share common features into mental categories.
From Greek 'kategoria' meaning 'accusation, assertion, category,' from 'kategorein' (to accuse, assert).
Categorization is how your brain sorts the world into groups — dogs, cats, furniture — so you don't have to learn each thing from scratch.
