Use 'for' when specifying the purpose (e.g., 'organize a gathering for team building') and 'of' when specifying the group (e.g., 'organize a gathering of colleagues').
For business meetings, prefer 'organize a meeting.' For social events, 'organize a gathering' sounds more natural.
The phrase combines 'organize' (from Latin *organum* meaning 'instrument, tool') and 'gathering' (from Old English *geador* meaning 'together'). The verb 'organize' entered English in the late 18th century via French *organiser*, derived from the Latin root.
The phrase is neutral and can refer to formal or informal events. In professional settings, 'organize a meeting' is more common, while 'organize a gathering' often implies a social or celebratory occasion.
