中英词源

tend 倾向，趋向www.wENtIyi.COM

来自拉丁语 tendere,延伸，拉长，词源同 attend,extend.引申词义倾向，趋向。

tend: tend: English has two distinct words tend, but they come from the same ultimate source. Tend ‘look after’ [14] is short for attend, which goes back to Latin compound verb based on tendere ‘stretch’ – source of English tend ‘have an inclination’ [14]. Tendere itself was descended from the Indo-European base *ten- ‘stretch’ (source also of English tenant, tenuous, thin, tone, tune, etc), and its other contributions to English include contend [15], distend [14], extend, intend, portend [15], pretend, and also ostensible, tendency [17], tense, tension, and tent.
=> contend, distend, extend, intend, ostensible, portend, pretend, tenant, tense, tent, tenterhooks, tenuous, thin, tone, tune
tend (v.1): "to incline, to move in a certain direction," early 14c., from Old French tendre "stretch out, hold forth, hand over, offer" (11c.), from Latin tendere "to stretch, extend, make tense; aim, direct; direct oneself, hold a course" (see tenet).
tend (v.2): "attend to," c. 1200, a shortening of Middle English atenden (see attend).
