設置
せっち · secchi · JLPT N1 · noun
constitution
🏛️ 設 (set up) + 置 (place) = to set up and place: an institution is something set up and put in place
設 means to establish or install, 置 means to place. Together they name the act of putting an organization in place, which matches the English 'establishment'.
置 — net 罒 (top) + straight 直 (bottom)
Originally a phono-semantic compound: the net 网/罒 on top suggested the idea of catching or pardoning a criminal, while 直 ('straight, upright') gave the sound and hinted at setting things upright. The meaning shifted from 'pardon, set free' to the modern senses 'place, put, set up, establish'.
