🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Organizing committee combines two etymological sources: organize derives from Greek organon (tool, instrument, or organ), which entered English through French organisation in the 16th century; committee comes from Latin committere (to entrust, commit), combined with the agent suffix -ee, forming the noun in Middle English. Together, the phrase denotes a body entrusted with coordinating specific tasks or functions.
Breakdown
organize: Greek organon (tool, instrument, organ) + -ize (verb-forming suffix) = to arrange systematically. committee: Latin committere (to entrust, commit) + -ee (one who receives an action) = a group entrusted with a task.
