From Middle English ordre, from Old French ordre, ordne, ordene (order, rank), from Latin ōrdinem, accusative of ōrdō (row, rank, regular arrangement, literally row of threads in a loom), from Proto-Italic *ordō (to arrange), probably ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂or-d-, from *h₂er-.

Related to Latin ōrdior (begin, literally begin to weave). In sense “request for purchase”, compare bespoke. Doublet of ordo.

      If Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } is a finite group, its cardinality is called the order of Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } . The order of an element a Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } is defined as the smallest nonnegative integer n {\displaystyle n} such that a n = 1 Δ {\displaystyle a^{n}=1_{\Delta }} . The second case of the following result is known as Cauchy's theorem.
      Theorem 1.10 Let Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } be a finite group.
      (i) The order of an element a Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } divides the order | Δ | {\displaystyle |\Delta |} of the group.
      (ii) If a prime number p {\displaystyle p} divides | Δ | {\displaystyle |\Delta |} , then there exists an element a Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } of order p {\displaystyle p} .

  21. (order theory) A partially ordered set.
  22. (order theory) The relation on a partially ordered set that determines that it is, in fact, a partially ordered set.
