'often-attached' originates from the combination of 'often,' meaning 'frequently,' and 'attached,' meaning 'connected or joined.'

'Often' comes from Old English 'oft,' and 'attached' comes from Old French 'atachier,' which evolved into the modern English 'attach.'

Initially, 'attach' meant 'to fasten or join,' and 'often' meant 'frequently.' The combination retains the original meanings, indicating frequent connection.
