Etymology
The word 'tenant' originates from the Latin term 'tenens', which is the present participle of 'tenere', meaning 'to hold'. It entered Middle English as 'tenaunt' around the 14th century, evolving through Old French as 'tenant'. Historically, tenants were those who held land or property under a feudal system, where they paid rent or provided services to a landlord in exchange for the right to occupy the land. Over time, the term has expanded to include anyone who rents property, regardless of the formalities of feudal relationships. The modern legal frameworks governing landlord-tenant relationships have further solidified the term's meaning to encompass a diverse range of rental agreements, from residential leases to commercial properties.
