To place things into groups or classes based on shared characteristics. To classify or organize systematically.
From Greek 'kategoria' meaning accusation or class, through Latin 'categoria.' The verb form developed in English to mean the act of placing items into systematic groups.
Think 'CATEGORY-ize' - you're literally making categories! It's like being a librarian organizing books into sections, or a scientist grouping animals by species.
