rearrange
UK: ˌriːəˈreɪndʒ | US: ˌriːəˈreɪndʒ
vt. to change the order or position of something
vt. to organize something in a new way
The word "rearrange" combines the prefix "re-" (from Latin, meaning "again") with the verb "arrange" (from Old French "arangier," meaning "to set in order"). The prefix "re-" implies repetition, while "arrange" retains its core meaning of organizing. Together, they logically form the concept of "setting in order again" or altering an existing arrangement. This reflects a clear, step-by-step evolution from Latin and Old French into modern English.
