Word origin
The word 'tidy' originated from the Middle English term 'tidy' or 'tidyng', meaning 'well-arranged' or 'neat'. It can be traced back further to the Old English word 'tidig', which meant 'early' or 'timely', related to the notion of something being in good order or presentable. The transitioning of meaning from 'timeliness' to 'neatness' likely evolved as the concept of orderliness became associated with being on time. Over the centuries, the word has maintained its core connotation centered around cleanliness and organization. The addition of the past tense 'tidied' follows standard English verb conjugation rules, applying the '-ed' suffix to indicate completed action.
