Today's word is pertain. Spelled P E R T A I N. Pertain is a verb. To pertain to someone or something is to relate, refer, or have a connection to that person or thing. Here's the word used in a sentence from the Cut by Amelia Madden There are certain rules of conduct that pertain to office dressing, no matter how lax your HR department may be. No shirt, no shoes, no job. But keeping it professional doesn't have to mean feeling stuffy or boring. The word pertain comes to English via Anglo French from the Latin verb pertinere, meaning to reach to or to belong. Pertinere, in turn, was formed by combining the prefix per, meaning through and tenere, meaning to hold. Tinere is a popular root in English words and often manifests with the Tain spelling that can be seen in pertain. Other descendants include abstain, contain, detain, maintain, obtain, retain, and sustain, to name a few of the more common ones. Not every Tain word has tenere in its ancestry, though ascertain, attain, and certain are certainly exceptions. And a few tenere words don't follow the usual pattern, including tenacious and tenure. With your word of the day, I'm Peter Sokolowski.
