Etymology
'spherically-arranged' originates from the combination of 'spherical' and 'arranged'. 'Spherical' comes from the Latin word 'sphaericus', meaning 'round', and 'arranged' is derived from the Old French 'arranger', meaning 'to set in order'.
'Sphaericus' transformed into the Middle English 'spherik', and 'arranger' evolved into the modern English 'arrange', eventually forming the compound adjective 'spherically-arranged'.
Initially, 'spherical' meant 'round or globe-like', and 'arranged' meant 'set in order'. The combined term 'spherically-arranged' specifically refers to the organization in a spherical manner.
