#930 of 5,000 Core 1000
Translation
to organise; organisation
Word origin
A two-character compound meaning to organise or an organisation. Both characters carry the 纟silk radical, drawing on the imagery of weaving threads together: 组 (zǔ) means to form into a group, with 且 (qiě) as the phonetic, and 织 (zhī) means to weave. The shared textile metaphor underlies the sense of binding parts into a structured whole.
