安排與被安排出的整體
三個意思共享同一個核心畫面：把分散的部分排進秩序。差別只在你看的是「安排這個動作」、「被安排出來的一群人」、還是「被安排出來的架構」。
planning, arranging · noun · B1
The act of planning and arranging something carefully so that it works well.
籌劃 / 安排
核心畫面
You can picture 'organization' as the act of putting many separate parts into a working order — like an organ in the body, where different pieces are arranged so the whole thing functions. From that one idea grow both the doing of it (arranging things well) and the result of it (a group, or a structure, whose parts are arranged to work together).

可以把 organization 想成「把許多分散的部分排進一個能運作的秩序裡」——就像身體裡的 organ（器官），不同的部件被安排好，整體才能運轉。從這一個畫面，長出了「做這件事」（把東西安排妥當）和「做出來的結果」（一個各部分配合運作的團體，或一套架構）兩邊。From the word’s history
From 'organize', from Medieval Latin 'organizare', from Latin 'organum' (instrument, organ) — the sense of arranging parts into a working whole.
來自 organize，源自中世紀拉丁文 organizare，再追到拉丁文 organum（器官、樂器）——核心比較像「把部件安排成一個能運作的整體」。
