The idea of roots is associated with the intertwining of roots.
Raigambre is the name given to the roots of plants when they are intertwined and linked . For example: “These bushes withstood the storm since their roots are very strong,” “I asked the gardener to remove the soil and remove all the roots,” “You cannot grow the plant in this pot since its roots will not have space.” to develop.”
Knowing the etymological origin of the term is important to understand its meaning. In this case, we can say that it is the result of the sum of two clearly delimited components: the verb raigar , which derives from the Latin verb radicale (which can be translated as “take root” ), and the suffix -ambre , which is used to leave proof that we are talking about groups.
The roots associated with the bases and traditions
The concept of roots can also be used to name the background , traditions or bases that link something or someone with a place or that give firmness to something: “Mambo has very important roots in this land,” “No He is a nationally famous artist, but he has roots in the northern region of the country,” “A society with progressive roots cannot support such a measure.”
Suppose an anthropologist studies the development of a certain ritual in a country. The specialist, in this way, discovers that the rite in question is not expanded throughout the national surface, although it has roots in the towns of the southern zone. This means that, in said region, the ritual is strengthened by a historical or cultural issue.
Rootedness can be linked to a person's attachment to their homeland.
The emigration
Many people leave to live outside their towns to begin a new path in the cities. However, that does not prevent them from maintaining faithful roots in the lands in which they were born and raised. This means that they not only periodically need to return but also that they are informed of everything that happens there, through tools such as, for example, websites.
But it should also be noted that those who have stronger roots in this regard do not hesitate to enjoy, encourage and always maintain in their lives everything that has to do with their origins. Hence, they make the typical recipes of the towns' gastronomy at home, listen to the music performed by local folk groups, maintain customs and even enjoy reading the books and works made by authors from those towns.
Other uses of the term roots
The expression “constitutional roots” , on the other hand, is used with reference to rights that are included in the Constitution of a country. By expressing this, a judge indicates that the right to which he refers is enshrined by the fundamental regulations from which the rest of the laws of a nation emanate.
There are scholars who reject the idea of “constitutional roots” by considering that many laws have “roots” preceding any Constitution: in fact, the Constitution includes norms that already had historical and social support.
Furthermore, it must be taken into account that there have been and are numerous artistic shows titled “Raigambre” , one of them being the one created by the Aragonese Folklore Company “Estampa Baturra” with which the aim was to demonstrate the way of living and thinking of the people.
