7. Order

1. What is an order, or arrangement?
2. How can humans resonate to the rhythms of nature, planet, solar system, cosmos?
3. What makes a composition of parts an integrated organism?

Early 13c., “body of persons living under a religious discipline,” from Old French ordre “position, estate; rule, regulation; religious order” (11c.), from earlier ordene, from Latin ordinem (nom. ordo) “row, rank, series, arrangement,” originally “a row of threads in a loom,” from Italic root *ord- “to arrange, arrangement” (cf. ordiri “to begin to weave,” e.g. in primordial).(source: www.etymonline.com).

Latin ordo is consisting of the Indo-European root *AR-/*OR-/*-UR, which indicates movement toward, motion to join, and the suffix/desinence “-do” that indicates a condition, a state (such as in Latin dulce-do, sweetness): idea of “moving”, “fit”, “attach”, thus way to proceed, in order that each element takes its right position.

It is such an important root to give name to the Indo-European people or “Aryan.” Origin, Horizon, Art have the same root.

Thus the term expresses the idea of the motion to merge (by the root or-) and maintenance (by the desinence -der).

Etymosophy result: constant movement towards unity.
