Where it comes from
From French adjoindre (“to join”), from late 19th C; see also adjoin. Doublet of adjunct. 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.
