curate

Select and arrange

A curate is a member of the clergy who assists a parish priest or rector.

The verb curate means to select and organize items for presentation—museum exhibits, playlists, social media feeds: She curates the gallery's contemporary collection.

The verb emerged from museum work but now applies to any careful selection: a curated list of restaurants, curating your online presence.
