The word "attendance" derives from Old French atendre (to wait, expect, or pay attention), which itself comes from Latin attendere (to stretch toward, give heed to). The prefix ad- (to) combines with tendere (to stretch), reflecting the idea of directing attention or presence toward something. Over time, attendance evolved to specifically denote the act of being present or the record of such presence, shedding its earlier broader meanings of expectation or attention.
