### Etymology

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 $\Delta$ is a finite group, its cardinality is called the order of $\Delta$. The order of an element $a\in \Delta$ is defined as the smallest nonnegative integer $n$ such that $a^{n}=1_{\Delta }$. The second case of the following result is known as Cauchy's theorem.
    Theorem 1.10 Let $\Delta$ be a finite group.
       (i) The order of an element $a\in \Delta$ divides the order $|\Delta |$ of the group.
       (ii) If a prime number $p$ divides $|\Delta |$, then there exists an element $a\in \Delta$ of order $p$.
** 2010, A. R. Vasishta, A. K. Vasishta, Modern Algebra, Krishna Prakashan Media, 60th Edition, page 180,
    Since in a finite group the order of an element must be a divisor of the order of the group, therefore o (a) cannot be 3 and so we must have o (a)=4=the order of the group G.

* (order theory) A partially ordered set.
