Etymology
'organization' originates from Medieval Latin, specifically the word 'organizatio,' where 'organ-' meant 'instrument or tool.'
'organizatio' transformed into the French word 'organisation,' and eventually became the modern English word 'organization' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'the act of organizing,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a structured group with a specific purpose.'
