obtainment
UK: əbˈteɪnmənt | US: əbˈteɪnmənt
n. the act of obtaining or acquiring something; acquisition
The word "obtainment" combines the verb "obtain," derived from Old French obtenir (from Latin obtinēre, meaning "to hold, acquire"), with the suffix "-ment," which originates from Latin -mentum and denotes the result or process of an action. The root "obtain" itself breaks down into ob- (intensive prefix) + tenēre (to hold), reflecting the idea of securing or possessing something through effort. The suffix "-ment" was adopted into English via Old French, solidifying the word's meaning as "the act of obtaining."
