Let F:X→CF:X\to C be a functor between categories. An object x∈Xx\in X is called to satisfy a universal mapping property with respect to FF and a morphism f:a→F(x)f:a\to F(x) if for any y∈Xy\in X and any morphism ϕ:a→G(y)\phi:a\to G(y) there is a morphism ψ:x→y\psi:x\to y such that

a ↦f F(x) ↘ ϕ ↓ G(ψ) G(y)\array{ a&\stackrel{f}{\mapsto}&F(x) \\ &\searrow^\phi&\downarrow^{G(\psi)} \\ &&G(y) }

commutes.
