Monad is (a classes of type of) a collapsible container. Collapsible, like how you can flatten a nested list, or Option<Option> can be flattened to Option.

A common pattern with monads is the flatMap function, where you apply function A -> List to (each element of) List to obtain List. This happen to represent erroneous call chaining with Option or Result types.
