Name Origin
In Dutch language 'Paalvast' is a combination of two words: Paal (pole) and vast (tight, grip or fixed). From my experience, that combination can lead to a couple of jokes...
The somewhat comparable name 'Rotsvast' ('Rots' meaning 'rock') is used in common language as 'rocksteady'. One might say that 'Rotsvast' is the Belgian brother of 'Paalvast', given that Belgian soil has rocks and Dutch soil has water, leading the Dutch to building their houses on poles for stability.
It is speculated that the name 'Paalvast' might come from a man who's job it was to fix the fishing boats to the pole at the harbor... Personally I prefer a pole-steady explanation.
