Etymology

From the root ر م ث (r m ṯ). Apparently the root derives from the plant name substrate, so from the picture of the plant the meaning of being in disorder, then the name for the raft apparently because of a raft consisting of complex branches, then from the building of rafts or campfires the meaning of arranging with the hand. See مَرْخ (marḵ, “Leptadenia pyrotechnica”) for another example of a root deriving from a plant name.
