The German word "Darstellung" is a noun meaning "representation," "depiction," or "presentation."
It is made of the verb "darstellen" (to portray, to represent), which itself combines "dar" (an archaic form related to "da" meaning "there") and "stellen" (to place, to put). So, literally, it means "to put something there" or "to present."
