The Dutch word for constitution, literally meaning 'ground law' or 'fundamental law.'
From Dutch grond (ground) and wet (law); a compound meaning 'the law that grounds everything'—literally translating to 'ground law.'
The Dutch language beautifully compounds meaning: they call their constitution a 'grondwet' (ground-law), while we use a Latin word that obscures the connection to Earth and foundation.
