Etymology
The word 'pertain' comes from the Latin verb 'pertinere', which means 'to reach to', 'to belong to', or 'to pertain to'. This Latin term is a combination of 'per-', meaning 'through', and 'tenere', meaning 'to hold'. The transition from Latin to Old French influenced its evolution into the English word 'pertain' during the late Middle Ages. It has retained a formal tone through the years, often used in legal, academic, and other formal writings to express the relevance of a subject matter. The past tense 'pertained' signifies the established connection or relevance in the past context.
