The only 5-letter word that is a synonym of “beweeggrond” in Dutch is:
- REDEN
This word can be used to mean both “reason” and “motive” in Dutch.
For example:
-
Ik heb mijn redenen om niet te gaan. (I have my reasons for not going.)
-
De politie onderzoekt de beweegredenen van de verdachte. (The police are investigating the suspect’s motives.)
I hope this helps!
