Korrastus is an Estonian noun derived from the adjective "korras" (in order) with the nominalizing suffix "-tus", and it denotes the act or result of putting something in order. The word is used in general language to describe tidying, organizing, arranging or making orderly, and it can refer both to physical actions (cleaning a room, arranging objects) and to more abstract processes (systematizing data, streamlining procedures).

In administrative and technical contexts, korrastus may describe processes of reorganization or adjustment, such as revising records, standardizing workflows, or improving infrastructure layouts. In everyday speech it commonly appears in phrases referring to household chores, project work, or preparations: for example, doing a korrastus of documents or performing a korrastus before an event.

Grammatically, korrastus is a singular, countable noun in Estonian; its plural form is korrastused. Related verbs and forms include "korrastama" (to organize, to put in order) and "korrastatud" (organized, ordered). English equivalents depend on context and can include arrangement, organizing, tidying, reorganization, or cleanup.

The term reflects a practical emphasis on orderliness and efficiency in both private and public spheres and is a common element of vocabulary concerned with maintenance, administration, and preparatory activity.
