Ordnung

  • /ˈɔːdnʊŋ/

Where it comes from

From German Ordnung (“order, discipline”), in part through Pennsylvania German.

noun the Ordnung · ordnung

  1. US A set of rules for Amish and Mennonite living. Rather than a packet of rules to memorize, the Ordnung is the “understood” set of expectations for behavior. In the same way that the rules of grammar are learned by children, so the Ordnung, the grammar of order, is absorbed by Amish youth.
