misarrange

/mɪsɚɹˈeɪndʒ/ verb

To incorrectly arrange

Word Origin Arrange comes from Old French arengier, from a- (Latin ad- 'to') and rangier 'to put in a row,' from Proto-Germanic *hringaz 'ring, circle, rank.' So arrange literally means 'to put into a ring or rank.' Misarrange is to do that badly. The root *hringaz also gives us ring, rank, and ranger. The mis- prefix (from Frankish missa- 'wrong') appears in mistake, mislead, and misplace.
