Etymology

Romanian borrowed "aranja" from French "arranger" in the 19th century, during the wave of French loanwords that reshaped Romanian vocabulary. The French verb itself comes from Old French "arangier", built from the prefix "a-" and "rangier", to put in a row, from "rang", a row or rank. That noun traces back to a Germanic source referring to a ring or circle of people.
