Etymology
The Dutch word "het ontwerp" comes from the verb "ontwerpen," meaning to design or draft. It combines the prefix "ont-" (indicating the beginning or emergence) with "werpen" (to throw), metaphorically suggesting the act of throwing ideas together to form a plan or design. Did you know that this reflects the creative process of 'throwing' concepts into a tangible form?
