to put in order

📦 Written 纏める: 纏 means to wrap or bind, so you bind loose bits into one

Its partner verb まとまる means to come together by itself. まとめる is the version where you do it: you gather scattered items, notes or ideas into one bundle. That is why it also means summing up or wrapping up a discussion.
