A list of things that happen in a different order, if at all.
means A method worked out in advance for doing or achieving something.
from From French 'plan,' which originally meant a flat surface or ground-plan — the drawing you'd make of a building seen from above. It traces back to Latin 'planus,' meaning flat or level (the same root gives us 'plain' and 'plane'). The leap from 'flat diagram' to 'scheme for the future' happened as architects' ground-plans came to stand for any laid-out design — so a plan has always been, at its root, just a flattened, legible version of something that hasn't happened yet.
