Understanding

   The word itself gives us a clue as to where our priorities should lay. Let us fold together two Asian proverbs about journeys. In the Chinese proverb: A journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step. In the Japanese proverb: our lessons come from the journey, not the destination. Both address where the right value lies.
   Distilled into one American word, the value, the front aspect of the word (the journey) is that which precedes the “ah ha” moment, the goal, the milestone (the standing). And, while we mark the progress with the standing, it is only that which we stand upon to journey further. Hence, the word’s priority of structure (the “under”) coming first (until the next “under”).

(this is my definition and i recognise it may be slightly off topic.
i nonetheless sense it's value, and am therefore sharing it)
