Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French partenir; Latin pertinēre.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman partenir, pertenir, pertiner, portenir, purtener, purteiner and Old French, Middle French partenir (also in Old French as pertenir ) to belong (to a person) as an object (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier), to be appropriate or suitable (to a thing) (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier), to concern (a person) (early 14th cent. or earlier), to be fitting (for a person) (first half of the 14th cent. or earlier), to belong (to a person) as a right (mid 14th cent. or earlier), and their etymon (ii) classical Latin pertinēre to extend, stretch, to tend (to), to belong (to), to be a concern (to), to relate to < per- per- prefix + tenēre to hold (see tenent adj.). Compare Old Occitan pertener (late 12th cent.; Occitan perténer), Spanish †pertenir (1311, rare), Italian pertenere (a1294, now rare; also as †pertinere (a1504 or earlier); earlier as Italian regional (Emilia Romagna, Venice) †pertenire (a1243)).The English forms probably partly reflect stem variation in Old French, where stress on the stem in parts of the paradigm gives e.g. 3rd singular present indicative -tient , 3rd singular present subjunctive -tiegne , -teigne (although with much mixture of forms through analogy; Middle English forms suggesting pronunciations with close ē and with ī probably reflect respectively Anglo-Norman and northern Old French developments of -ie- ). Compare contain v., detain v., maintain v., retain v., sustain v.

1. intransitive. To belong. Frequently in present participle in pertaining to.

a. To belong, be connected to (something), esp. as part of a whole, or as an appendage or accessory. Occasionally †with indirect object without to (obsolete).
