As I have always been convinced that abuse of Words, has been the great instrument of Sophistry and Chicanery — of party, faction and Division in Society.

The name for the algebraic structure consisting of a set \(A\) equipped with a binary operation \(f\colon A^2\to A\) which is not assumed to be commutative, associative, etc. has an interesting history. As far as I can tell, this sort of algebra was originally known as a "groupoid", and you can find recent literature using the term in that way. However, Nicolas Bourbaki called a set with a single binary operation a "magma" in his Éléments de mathématique and this name came to be used when there might be confusion with the newer topological use of "groupoid" to mean a category whose morphisms are all invertible. A third contender is "binar". I don't know the history of this one but it seems reasonable to me.
I prefer "magma" myself. I don't know what a "lava" or a "volcano" should be nor have I had the audacity to try to name something like this in the literature. One reason I prefer "magma" is that I can talk about a set \(A\) equipped with a single \(n\)-ary operation \(f\colon A^n\to A\) as an "\(n\)-ary magma" (or just "\(n\)-magma" or even "magma").
