constitution
One's bodily health
Constitution refers to the fundamental makeup of something—its essential character and composition.
A person's constitution is their physical or mental nature: She has a strong constitution, His nervous constitution couldn't handle the stress.
The word also means the act of establishing or forming something: the constitution of a new committee.
More commonly, it refers to the basic principles and laws governing an organization or nation, typically written in a founding document: The club's constitution requires annual elections. (Capitalized Constitution refers to a specific national founding document, especially the U.S.
Constitution.)
