adj. arranged or organized in a systematic way

v. (past tense of "order") commanded or requested something to be done
The word "ordered" derives from the verb "order," which originates from the Latin ordinare (to arrange, command), via Old French ordrer. The suffix "-ed" is a Germanic addition used to form past tense or past participles in English. The morpheme "order" retains its core meaning of arrangement or command, while "-ed" marks the action as completed. This combination reflects the logical progression from the act of arranging/commanding to the state of being arranged or commanded.
