Root Explanation

Organized → It is formed from "organ" (from Greek "organon", meaning tool or instrument) and the suffix "-ized" (meaning to make or to become). The word "organized" means to make something into a structured or systematic arrangement, as if arranging tools for a specific purpose.

Memory Tip

Think of 'organ' as a tool or instrument that helps create order — when something is organized, it is made into a structured arrangement, just like tools are arranged for use.
