Attended

Past tense of attend; to be present at an event or place, to take care of or look after something, or to listen and pay attention.

From Old French 'atendre,' from Latin 'attendere' meaning 'to stretch toward' or 'to apply one's mind to.' The prefix 'at-' means 'to,' and 'tendere' means 'to stretch,' so the core meaning is literally 'to stretch toward something' or apply attention to it.
