Etymology
'organization' originates from the Latin word 'organizare,' where 'organ-' meant 'instrument or tool.'
'organizare' transformed into the French word 'organisation,' and eventually became the modern English word 'organization' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to arrange or set up,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a structured group or system.'
