Etymology

1. c.1300, "to direct one's mind or energies," from O.Fr. atendre "to expect, wait for, pay attention," from L. attendere "give heed to," lit. "to stretch toward," from ad- "to" + tendere "stretch" (see tenet). The notion is of "stretching" one's mind toward something. Sense of "take care of, wait upon" is from 1420. Attendance "presenting oneself" (originally with intent of taking a part) is from c.1460. Attendant "one who attends" is from 1555. Attention "giving heed" is in Chaucer (c.1374). As a military cautionary word preparative to giving a command, it is attested from 1792. Attentive is from 1382 (implied in attentively).
2. PIE word
3. *h₂éd
4. From Middle English attenden, atenden (“to devote oneself (to a task, etc.); to pay attention to (something), to look after; to consider (something); to expect or look forward to (something); to intend to do (something); to help or serve (someone), attend upon; to take care of (something)”), from Old French atendre (“to await, wait for; to expect; to intend”), from Latin attendere, adtendere (“to pay attention to, attend; to direct or turn toward”), from ad- (“prefix meaning ‘to, towards’”) + tendō (“to direct one’s course; to extend, stretch; to exert, strive”). Doublet of attempt and tend. See: Old French 'atendre', Latin 'attendō'.
