The Sino-Japanese word 設立 (setsuritsu) combines 設 (setsu, "to establish") with 立 (ritsu, "to stand"), linking creation with something coming into lasting existence.

Usage tips

  • In English, establishment can describe both the act of creating an institution and the institution created, so context shows whether it means a process or an existing body.
