'arrange' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'arangier,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'rangier' meant 'to set in a row.'

'arangier' transformed into the Middle English word 'arangen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'arrange.'

Initially, it meant 'to set in a row,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to organize or put in order.'
