Etymology

The word "arrangement" originates from the Old French "arengier" (to arrange), derived from "a-" (to) + "rengier" (to put in a row, from "reng" meaning line or rank). The suffix "-ment" was added to form a noun indicating the result or action of arranging. Over time, the term evolved to encompass both physical organization (e.g., objects in order) and abstract planning (e.g., agreements or musical adaptations).
