mapping
In technical contexts like mathematics or programming, "mapping" is often used as an uncountable noun to describe the general concept of association. When used as a verb (the present participle form), it describes the active process of creating these connections. It is most commonly found in professional, scientific, or technological discussions rather than casual daily conversation.
