The word 组织 is formed through the combination of two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, composite concept. The first character, 组, originally depicts threads bound together (from the silk radical) and means to combine or form a group. The second, 织, also from the silk radical, means to weave or knit. Together, they create a powerful metaphor: just as threads are woven into fabric, individual elements are 组-combined and 织-interwoven into a structured, cohesive whole, leading to the modern meaning of an "organization" or "to organize".
