To arrange chaos until it sounds like it meant to happen all along.
means To put parts together into a unified whole — whether that's a piece of music, a sentence, a painting, or your own rattled nerves.
from From Latin componere, "to put together," built from com- ("together") and ponere ("to place, to put"). It reached English through Old French composer. That ponere root is wildly productive — it also seeds 'position,' 'deposit,' 'opponent,' and 'postpone' — all variations on the simple act of placing something somewhere. To compose, then, is literally to place things together until they hold.
