Plural of constitution; written documents establishing a government's structure and limiting its power, or the general health/physical makeup of a person or thing.
From Latin 'constitutio' (establishment, arrangement), from 'constituere' (to set up). The '-s' creates the plural. The word has been used for both governmental and physical senses since medieval Latin.
The word 'constitution' has two completely different meanings—countries have them (documents), and people have them (their physical health)—and both come from the Latin idea of 'setting up' or 'arrangement'!
