sort

sort
{{11}}sort (n.) late 14c., from O.Fr. sorte "class, kind," from L. sortem (nom. sors) "lot, fate, share, portion, rank, category," from PIE root *ser- "to line up" (Cf. L. serere "to arrange, attach, join;" see SERIES (Cf. series)). The sense evolution in V.Latin is from "what is allotted to one by fate," to "fortune, condition," to "rank, class, order." Out of sorts "not in usual good condition" is attested from 1620s, with literal sense of "out of stock."
{{12}}sort (v.) mid-14c., "to arrange according to type or quality," from O.Fr. sortir "allot, sort, assort," from L. sortiri "draw lots, divide, choose," from sors (see SORT (Cf. sort) (n.)). In some senses, the verb is a shortened form of ASSORT (Cf. assort).
