Etymology

From Middle English ordre, from Old French ordre, ordne, ordene (“order, rank”), from Latin ōrdinem, accusative of ōrdō (“row, rank, regular arrangement”, literally “row of threads in a loom”), from Proto-Italic *ordō (“to arrange”), probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂or-d-, from *h₂er-.
Related to Latin ōrdior (“begin”, literally “begin to weave”). In sense “request for purchase”, compare bespoke. Doublet of ordo.
Compare typologically Russian поря́док (porjádok) (akin to ряд (rjad)).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun Regular arrangement; any methodical or established succession or harmonious relation; method; system; as: (a) Of material things, like the books in a library.
  2. noun Right arrangement; a normal, correct, or fit condition; as, the house is in order; the machinery is out of order. Locke.
  3. verb To put in order; to reduce to a methodical arrangement; to arrange in a series, or with reference to an end. Hence, to regulate; to dispose; to direct; to rule.
  4. verb To give an order to; to command; as, to order troops to advance.
