Arrangement or adaptation?

HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

How have y'all been doing?

I made this arrangement / adaptation this morning in a few minutes, combining different resources: listening to the song and trying to figure it out on guitar, reading a piano arrangement and adapting some sections and also adding stuff by my own in order to make it sound more "guitarristic....?" (Dunno if that word exist but you got the point)

The thing is that I don't know what's the difference between an arrangement and an adaptation anymore... Is it the crafting process that changes or they're both the same? Do I need to add original stuff in order to call it an arrangement or it doesn't matter if it's almost the same as the original song?

This idea has been spinning in my head and I just wanted to hear more opinions about it (I'm curious yk)

What do you guys think?

(Btw, the name of the song is "don't forget" from the videogame Deltarune)
