hom-category

Recall that in a category C, each pair of objects x and y determines a set C(x,y), the hom-set of x and y. In a 2-category B, each pair of objects determines a category B(x,y). This category is the hom-category of x and y.

As a 2-category is enriched over Cat, a hom-category is a special case of a hom-object. But the hom-category makes sense also for the weakly enriched concept of bicategory.
