В противоположность "Monad" например?

(Apologies for what is probably appalling grammar!) More
seriously, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if
giving names to things that have such a short expression as
“((concat .) . intersperse)” might not be counterproductive.

Whatever we call it, even if it's a word in an English
dictionary, it's meaning in Haskell becomes an additional
learning burden on a programmer who whishes to understand
programmes that use it. “(concat.).intersperse” might cause
some head scratching at first, but everything involved is
something that the programmer will have to learn anyway, and
if its use is frequent, it will become idiomatic.
