'landscape' originates from Dutch, specifically the word 'landschap', where 'land' meant 'land' and 'schap' meant 'condition'.

'landschap' transformed into the English word 'landscape', and eventually became the modern English word 'landscaping' through the addition of the suffix '-ing'.

Initially, it meant 'a picture representing natural inland scenery', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the process of designing and modifying land'.
