The word organ first comes from late Old English organe, and Old French orgene (12c.), then Greek word organon which means a musical instrument or that with which one works (hence the reference to body parts.)

Further, the meaning "body part adapted to a certain function" is from late 14c., from a Medieval Latin sense of Latin organum.
