Thank you! You would not believe how long I've been trying to figure out where the term came from.
The best explanation I'd heard prior to now was that the practice of composing functions was akin to mixing ingredients for curry, (the food) but I'd never really bought that line of reasoning.

You could try the Wikipedia page, I suppose. ๐
Hey, in my defense, the explanation there was only added in 2022, and I'd already given up looking by then!
That is a solid defense, I'll give you that.
