Etymology of WERE CONSTITUENT

The term "were constituent" does not have a specific etymology, as it is a combination of two separate words.

The word "were" is the second person singular and plural past tense of the verb "be" in Old English. It originated from the Proto-Germanic word *wesaną, which means "to be". Over time, "were" evolved from the Old English form "wǣron" to the modern English version.

On the other hand, "constituent" comes from the Latin word "constituens", the present participle form of "constituere", which means "to set up" or "to establish". It was derived from the prefix "con-" meaning "with" or "together" and "stituere" meaning "to place" or "to put".
