把東西排好的人
核心畫面直接落在人身上。這一族裡一個是安排事情，一個是安排聲音，動作完全一樣。

Someone who plans and sets up things for other people, such as a trip, an event, or a deal.
安排者／籌辦者
核心畫面
Think of someone standing in front of a pile of things that already exist — chairs, flights, instruments, voices — and putting them into an order that works. Nothing new is invented. The pieces were all there before; what changes is where each one goes and when it arrives. Every use of this word is that same person in a different room: one lays out hotels and trains, one lays out violins and drums, and one of them is not a person at all but a keyboard laying out a backing band while you play.

可以想成一個人站在一堆現成的東西前面——椅子、班機、樂器、人聲——然後把它們排成一個行得通的順序。沒有任何東西是新發明的。零件本來就在那裡，改變的是每一樣放在哪裡、什麼時候出現。這個字的每一個用法，都是同一個人換了一個房間：一個排的是旅館和車班，一個排的是小提琴和鼓；還有一個根本不是人，而是一台在你彈的時候幫你把伴奏排好的鍵盤。From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary etymology derives arrange from Old French arangier, formed on a- plus reng, a row or rank (itself from Frankish *rank). So the oldest picture under this word is putting things into a row, which is still what every sense describes.
資料裡的 Wiktionary 字源把 arrange 回溯到古法文 arangier，由 a- 加上 reng 組成，而 reng 的意思是「一排、一列」（再往前來自法蘭克語 *rank）。所以這個字最底層的畫面就是「把東西排成一排」——今天每一個意思講的還是同一件事。
Wiktionary etymology supplied in this packet (kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:1336515742): Old French arangier < a- + reng 'row, rank' > Middle English arengen > English arrange + -er

替你排好的機器
同樣的工作，換成機器來做：你按和弦，它照你選的風格把整組伴奏排好。名字直接沿用做這件事的人。
