Etymology
'loosely-organized' originates from the combination of 'loose' and 'organize', where 'loose' meant 'not tight' and 'organize' meant 'to arrange in a structured way'.
'loose' changed from Old English 'lēas' meaning 'free from' and 'organize' from Medieval Latin 'organizare', eventually forming the modern English term 'loosely-organized'.
Initially, 'loose' meant 'free from restraint', and 'organize' meant 'to arrange', evolving into the current meaning of 'not strictly organized'.
