That's interesting. I haven't learned about reductions yet—I'll check it

If you consider the following,
(defn dot-product [v1 v2] (reduce + (map * v1 v2)))
perhaps dot-product would be considered a noun, while since the reduce it
is defined in terms of speaks of *how* instead of *what,*
Never thought of it that way, I always verb the noun.
Did you learn about reductions, yet? It's clear that the name corresponds
to the intended output at least in that case.
