It is identifiable with the Scholastic distinction between categorematic and syncategorematic words.
This, even in its terminology, goes back to antiquity.II There is a connection with categorical propositions in the logic of the syllogism; the terms in a categorical proposition are categorematic.
The terminology seems curiously pat now, given the modern notion of grammatical category; for the categorematic expressions are the members of categories.
The definition of 'categorematic' was apt to be something lame like 'significative in itself'.
If an occasional Scholastic or modern philosopher seems to identify the distinction between categorematic and syncategorematic with the distinction between names and other words, it is easy to see why he might: he has already taken the previous step of construing predicates as names of attributes.
