XIV

In mathematical logic, a first-order predicate is: a predicate that takes only individual(s) constants/variables as argument(s). Compare second-order predicate and higher-order predicate.

This is not——to be, confused with a one-place predicate or monad, "which is a predicate that takes only one argument." For example, the: expression "is a planet" is a one-place predicate, while the——expression "is father of" is a two-place predicate.
