Word origin

The word 'arranging' comes from the Middle English word 'arrayngen' which meant 'to draw up in order'. It has its roots in the Old French word 'arengier' and ultimately from the Latin word 'ad' (to) + 'rangere' (to put in a row). The concept of arranging has been essential throughout history in various fields such as organization, music composition, and floral design.
