Etymology Origin:
The word "reorganize" combines the Latin prefix re- (indicating repetition) with "organize," rooted in the Greek concept of organon (a tool or instrument). Originally tied to biological or mechanical systems, "organize" evolved to mean structured arrangement. Adding re- emphasizes doing this anew, reflecting adaptability in systems, from businesses to personal plans.
