'amenage' originates from French, specifically the word 'aménager,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'ménager' meant 'to manage or arrange.'

'aménager' transformed into the English word 'amenage' and eventually became the modern English word 'amenage' through borrowing.

Initially, it meant 'to manage or arrange,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
