The word "filosofisch" comes from the Dutch adaptation of the Greek word 'philosophia,' meaning 'love of wisdom.' It entered Dutch through Latin and Old French influences. Did you know? The root 'philo-' means 'love' and '-sophia' means 'wisdom,' so "filosofisch" literally relates to the love or pursuit of wisdom.
