Etymology
The Dutch word "het landschap" comes from the combination of 'land', meaning earth or territory, and the suffix '-schap', which denotes a state or condition. Historically, it described a stretch of land as seen by the eye, much like the English word 'landscape' which shares the same Germanic roots.
