'coordination' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'coordinatio,' where 'co-' meant 'together' and 'ordinatio' meant 'arrangement.'

'coordinatio' transformed into the French word 'coordination,' and eventually became the modern English word 'coordination' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'arrangement together,' but over time it evolved into its current meanings of 'organization of elements' and 'body's ability to work smoothly.'
