It turns out that there may be a shared etymology from Old French "arraier" (I arrange, prepare, put in order; contrast En. disarray). So, as far as choices go it's not necessarily a bad one.
Until someone comes along and translates 'heap_alloc' as 'asignacion_al_monton' or 'DatabaseDriver' as 'PilotoBaseDeDatos' (I wish I had made up the latter).
