Definition
The parts or elements that make up something, or the people who vote for and are represented by an elected official.
Etymology
From Latin 'constituens' meaning 'setting up' or 'composing,' derived from 'constituere' (to set up, establish). The word entered English in the 1600s with legal and political meanings.
Kelly Says
The Constitution is literally made up of its constituents—the word comes from the same root—and interestingly, the people who vote for a politician are also called constituents because they 'constitute' or make up the voting base that gives that politician power.
