coordinate

Match and arrange

Coordinate means to arrange elements so they work together harmoniously.

You coordinate schedules, outfits, or efforts between teams.

The verb implies bringing multiple parts into proper relation.

As an adjective, coordinate describes things of equal rank or importance: coordinate clauses in grammar.

As a noun, coordinates are numbers that specify a position—map coordinates locate a point on Earth, and in fashion, coordinates are matching separates designed to go together.
