Why is is better? It just seems different.

APL's usage of monad predates its use in conjunction with modern functional programming languages, by the way. It goes back to the 60s, and there are plenty of books and papers where these terms are used that way.

I can't say I care too much which terms people use, but in context of APL, I prefer the terms that were used by Iverson and have been in print for more than half a century.
