Ordain में order जैसा सुनाई देता है। Official order जारी करके किसी को priest बना दिया — उसे ordain किया गया। Order वाले भाव से ही दूसरा अर्थ आता है: आदेश देना, decree करना।

Ordain sounds like order. By issuing an official order, someone is made a priest — he is ordained. The same idea of order gives its second sense: to decree or command officially.
