"倾斜,向某个方向移动",早在14世纪就来自于古法语 tendre "伸展,伸出,递交,提供"(11世纪),源自于拉丁语 tendere "伸展,延伸,使紧张; 瞄准,指引; 指引自己,保持方向"(源自于 PIE 词根 *ten- "伸展")。PIE 词根产生了两个拉丁动词, tendere "伸展" 和 tenere "握住,抓住"(tenacity 等的来源),也许是来自于一个 PIE 动词的屈折形式。这两个拉丁动词都有过去分词 tentus。
Verb (1) Middle English tenden "to stretch, spread, direct oneself (to), incline toward," borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French tendre "to stretch, hold out, offer, direct (one's course), go, aim (at)," going back to Latin tendere "to extend outward, stretch, spread out, direct (one's course), aim (at a purpose)" (Medieval Latin, "to lead toward, move in a particular direction") — more at tender >entry 3 Verb (2) Middle English tenden, shortened from attenden "to attend" or entenden, intenden "to intend"
The first known use of tend was in the 14th century
