Free composition
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
An operation in some class of universal algebras that associates with a given set of algebras from this class the "weakest free" (in a certain sense) algebra of the same class that contains subalgebras isomorphic to the given algebras and generating them. At present the terminology is close to that of a free product.
