aranjament

Forms

aranjament n (plural aranjamente)^[1]

Etymology

It is borrowed from French arrangement.^{[2][3][4][5][1]} The French noun is formed on arranger (“to arrange”) with -ment.^[1] In Romanian it can also be read as aranja with the suffix -ment, but the dictionaries take it whole from French.^[1][3]

Earliest recorded meaning

DELR dates it to 1836, in Asachi, and Tiktin gives the same year.^[2][4] The first senses were putting in order and an amicable settlement.^[4][6]

Semantic evolution

MDA2 records old variants spelled with ⟨ngi⟩ and ⟨ngem⟩, close to the French spelling.^[5] Damé's dictionary (1893–1895) gives both “arrangement” and “conciliation”.^[7] Two technical senses were added later: the arrangement of a piece of music for other instruments or voices, and in mathematics the groupings of objects that differ in their kind or order.^[3][8]
