    So "accusation" and "category" are one and the same?

      The Online Etymology Dictionary has an article on the word category that sheds some light on how this came about:

          Might "solemn" work for σοβαρή?

          I think that is "επίσημος".

            Isn't that 'official'? I feel like solemn or sober would work for σοβάρος.

                "Solemn" is a bit too formal in this case, but we've found it in an official document online, so we'll add it.

                  So category is correct but subject is not?

                    Yes, these words are not related.
