Order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Order (from Latin ordo "row, rank, series, arrangement", Old French ordre from the Latin accusative, ordinem, attested in English from the 1220s). |
 | | The word conveys a notion of "a system of parts subject to certain uniform, established ranks or proportions", an idea very central to scholastic thought, and it was used in a wide range of contexts, from architecture to angels. |
 | | In information processing, order is a measure of the number of objects or sub-systems in a system as seen by an observer. |
