Attinge

/əˈtɪndʒ/ verb

Definition

To touch, reach, or come into contact with something (archaic or rare usage).

Etymology

From Latin attingere (ad- 'to' + tangere 'to touch'). A direct borrowing that entered English in the medieval period but fell out of common use.

Kelly Says

This word is 'attested' only in rare old texts—it's a linguistic ghost that shows how Latin verbs about touching (tangere) scattered across European languages as 'touch,' 'tangent,' 'tango,' and this forgotten 'attinge.'
