Can someone help me bridge the gap between this understanding of the definition of functor and the ocaml version?

In ocaml, a functor is a module that takes another module as a parameter. In this, a functor is a type that implements the map method. Is there something I'm missing that explains how both of them are functors?

The simple explanation is that the word functor is being used for two different concepts.

I found this question on Stackoverflow.
