Etymology
'progressively-arranged' originates from the combination of 'progressive' and 'arranged', where 'progressive' comes from the Latin 'progressivus', meaning 'moving forward', and 'arranged' from the Old French 'arangier', meaning 'to set in order'.
'progressive' evolved from the Latin 'progressivus' through Middle English, while 'arranged' came from the Old French 'arangier', eventually forming the modern English term 'arranged'.
Initially, 'progressive' meant 'moving forward', and 'arranged' meant 'set in order'. Together, they evolved to mean 'organized in a manner showing gradual improvement'.
