structured formally
Etymology
'formally-organized' originates from the combination of 'formal' and 'organize', where 'formal' comes from Latin 'formalis' meaning 'pertaining to form' and 'organize' from Greek 'organon' meaning 'tool or instrument'.
'formalis' transformed into the Old French 'formel', and 'organon' evolved into the Medieval Latin 'organizare', eventually becoming the modern English 'formally-organized'.
Initially, 'formal' meant 'pertaining to form', and 'organize' meant 'to arrange', evolving into the current meaning of 'structured in a formal manner'.
