Why this word is great
BUNDOBUST — [Noun] A system of organization, arrangement, or preparation, especially one involving detailed planning and disciplinary control. From Hindustani (Hindi बंदोबस्त and Urdu بند و بست, bandobast), from Classical Persian بند و بست (band-u-bast, literally "tying and binding"). Unlike "arrangement"—a general and often provisional ordering—or "logistics"—which charts the tactical flow of resources—a bundobust is a comprehensive, entrenched architecture of administration. It is the meticulous grid of a military cantonment, the exacting protocol for a state banquet where not a spoon is out of place, and the immutable, ledger-bound procedure of a colonial district office—a scaffold of order constructed against the persistent threat of entropy's return.
