喜樂美語

You can picture someone setting a thing firmly in place so it stands and lasts — establishing a rule, a plan, a practice. From that act of 'setting up something to stand', you get both the verb (to set up) and the noun (a set-up, standing body — an institute).

可以想成有人把一樣東西穩穩地立起來、讓它站著、長久存在：立下一條規矩、訂出一套做法。institute 的核心畫面比較像「設立、讓某物站立起來」這個動作；由這個動作既長出動詞（去設立），也長出名詞（一個被立起來、長期存在的單位——機構）。
