orderly has 2 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is disorderly.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a male hospital attendant who has general duties that do not involve the medical treatment of patients
devoid of violence or disruption
“an orderly crowd confronted the president”
