dict(1) says "L. catenatus" for catenate and "L. concatenatus" for
concatenate. Perhaps there's more of a distinction in Latin? Anyway,
given I often hear people complain about the difficulty in remembering
command names and options I think it's worth being pedantic for the
mnemonic benefit. :-)
My Collins Latin dictionary doesn't list concatenatus. Catenatus is
"chained" or "fettered". http://www.latin-dictionary.org/concatenatus
gives "link/bind together". I don't think "catenate" sees much use
outside of chemistry in modern parlance.
