attached
UK: əˈtætʃt | US: əˈtætʃt
adj. joined or fastened to something
adj. emotionally connected or devoted
vt. (past tense of "attach") fixed or added to something
The word "attached" originates from Old French atachier (to fasten), derived from a- (to) + tachier (to fasten, from tache "nail or hook"). The root tach evolved from Vulgar Latin taccare, likely of Germanic origin, related to fixing or securing. The suffix -ed marks the past participle form, indicating completion. The progression reflects a literal act of fastening (physical) to metaphorical bonding (emotional).
