In current use it is a noun meaning "a systematic arrangement or ordering across parts; (in technical writing) a framework organizing documentation into distinct types". That sense is explained by the older material without requiring a speculative semantic step: the inherited or borrowed base supplies the field of meaning, while the English formation fixes its modern role. The surface form is compositional: its joined elements remain visible in the modern word. The word's history is thus visible in its construction: the components remain interpretable even after the whole expression has settled into a conventional English meaning. ## Topics - Space, Position & Direction markdown
