Etymology
The Dutch verb "inhouden" comes from the combination of 'in,' meaning 'in' or 'within,' and 'houden,' meaning 'to hold.' Together, it literally means 'to hold within,' which perfectly reflects its meaning of containing or implying something inside. Did you know that 'houden' is related to the English word 'hold'?
