Unless you reserve call "." the catenation operator and call ".=" the *con*catenation operator. :-)

+--------------+ | concatenate | +--------------+

Etymology​: ad. L. concatenat-us\, pa. pple. of concatenare​: see next\, and -ate[2].

Chained together (obs.); linked together; concatenated. In Entom.\, etc. said of rows of processes connected by ridges\, or the like.

  * 1471 Ripley Comp. Alch. ii. v. in Ashm. (1652) 136 - The Elements be so   concatenat.   * 1678 Cudworth Intell. Syst. 652 - Thus are all the genuine attributes   of the Deity..inseparably concatenate.   * 1871 M. Cooke Fungi (1874) 131 - Sporidia..attached together in fours   in a concatenate or beaded manner.

Hence con'catenateness\, `the being linked together' (Bailey 1730-6).

+-----------+ | catenate | +-----------+

Etymology​: f. L. catenat- ppl. stem of catenare (f. catena chain); see -ate[3].

1 trans. To connect like the links of a chain\, to link\, to string together; to form into a catena or series. Hence 'catenated ppl. a.

  * 1623 Cockeram\, - Catennate\, to chaine.   * 1656 Blount Glossogr.\, - Catenate\, to link\, chain or tie.   * 1794-6 E. Darwin Zoon. (1801) I. 112 - If this activity be catenated   with the diurnal circle of actions.   * A. 1876 J. H. Newman Hist. Sk. II. v. v. 477 - He fused those catenated   passages into one homogeneous comment.   * 1876 Maudsley Phys. Mind v. 308 - A transference of energy from one to   another of the catenated cells.

2 fig. (humorously.) To bind as with a chain.

  * 178. Mock Ode in Boswell Johnson (1816) IV. 428 - This gigantic   frame..catenated by thy charms\, A captive in thy ambient arms.

In the POD for 5.005_03\, there are 17 matches for /concatenat/i and only 1 match for /\bcatenat/i. As I said\, *for consistency*\, it is probably preferable to refer to C\<.> as the 'concatenation operator'.
