note: The word landscape comes from the Dutch landschap meaning region or tract of land borrowed into English around 1600 as an art term for a painting of scenery derived from land (land) and -schap (-ship meaning condition/shape). Early English forms like landskip existed but the Dutch artistic sense referring to a picture of natural views popularized the word eventually applying to actual views and areas.
Etymology: Dutch 'landschap' from 'land' + '-schap' -ship
