Word origin
The word 'attach' comes from the Latin word 'attachare', which means 'to fasten or join'. It has been used in English since the 14th century, originally in the sense of 'seize or capture'. Over time, it evolved to its current meaning of joining or fastening things together. The concept of attachments in emails and documents became prominent with the rise of digital communication in the late 20th century.
