About This Root
From Latin ōrdō, ōrdinis (row, rank, arrangement). A highly productive root spanning arrangement (order, orderly, reorder), normality (ordinary, extraordinary), and governance (ordain, coordinate). Disorder and disorderly represent broken order. The jump from 'row/rank' to 'command' reflects how Roman military ranks implied authority.
