Etymology
'tastefully-arranged' originates from the combination of 'tastefully' and 'arranged', where 'tastefully' is derived from 'taste' meaning 'aesthetic judgment' and 'arranged' from 'arrange' meaning 'to put in order'.
'tastefully-arranged' evolved from the Middle English word 'taste' and the Old French 'arranger', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective.
Initially, it meant 'arranged with good taste', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
