# 'Return' or 'unit' which wraps a piece of raw data, returning the wrapped 'monadic' form.

# 'Bind' which applies some other function directly to the contents of a monadic wrapper, obtains a result, and returns a wrapped form of that result.

 

(The term monad derives from [[wp:Monad_(category_theory)|a concept in category theory]]. In ancient Greek the word μοναδικος means 'consisting of units').
