Etymology
'attend' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'atendre,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'tendre' meant 'stretch or hold.'
'atendre' transformed into the Middle English word 'attenden,' and eventually became the modern English word 'attend.'
Initially, it meant 'to stretch towards or wait upon,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to be present at an event or activity.'
