Understanding this quote
The statement says that studying an order that appears monstrous—unusual or unlike the familiar pattern—can clarify how the usual order works. The contrast matters: what seems strange makes the ordinary arrangement easier to examine closely. Unusual order is therefore presented as a way to gain a deeper understanding of what normally appears familiar.
