Etymology

The term 'neaten up' originated from the combination of the words 'neaten' and 'up', both of which have roots in Old English. 'Neaten' comes from the Middle English word 'neten', meaning 'to make neat or trim', while 'up' has been used as a particle in English since the 14th century to indicate completion or direction. The phrase 'neaten up' gained popularity in the 19th century and is commonly used in everyday language to refer to the act of making something tidy or organized.
