OP I'm looking for a word or category for certain practices: In New York City, if you have an errand in a distant or even a near part of town, you will try to think of other errands you have to do in or near that area, so as to be more efficient. I was once told that there is a word for this sort of habit or custom, a word that categorizes it. And, I suppose, there must be a word or a category for that sort of word. Do you have any idea what these words/categories might be? I don't even know where to begin to look. Thank youl
Welcome, MVD. I would just call what you describe organizing, though I suppose simplifying might work just as well. Here's what thesaurus.com gave me; maybe one of the alternates would suit you better: Main Entry: organize
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: arrange, systematize
Synonyms: adapt, adjust, be responsible for, catalogue, classify, codify, combine, compose, constitute, construct, coordinate, correlate, create, dispose, establish, fashion, fit, form, formulate, frame, get going, get together, group, harmonize, lick into shape, line up, look after, marshal, methodize, mold, pigeonhole, put in order, put together, range, regulate, run, see to, set up, settle, shape, standardize, straighten, straighten out, tabulate, tailor, take care of, whip into shape
