The term can denote social gatherings such as concerts, conferences, fairs, or community activities, as well as multiple musical arrangements of a composition when discussing different versions. The exact sense is determined by context.

Linguistic notes: Arrangement originates from the Danish noun arrangement, which is borrowed into Danish from French and other Romance-language sources. The definite plural ending -erne is added to form arrangementerne, meaning “the arrangements.” The indefinite plural is arrangementer, and other forms follow the standard Danish declension patterns for neuter nouns.
