Word origin
The word 'contain' originates from the Latin 'continere', meaning 'to hold together' or 'to enclose'. This Latin term is composed of the prefix 'con-', which means 'together', and the root 'tenere', which means 'to hold'. The transition into Middle English saw the transformation into 'contenen', and from there it evolved to the modern English 'contain'. The meaning has remained relatively stable through its linguistic evolution, reflecting the essential idea of holding or enclosing something within certain boundaries. Over time, the usage has expanded, and it now applies to various contexts ranging from physical objects to abstract concepts, such as containing emotions or ideas.
