purtenancen.Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: French purtenance , partenance ; appurtenance n. Etymology: Partly < Anglo-Norman purtenance, purtinance appurtenance (early 14th cent. or earlier), variant (with prefix substitution: compare pur- prefix) of Anglo-Norman and Middle French partenance, Middle French pertinence pertinence n.1, and partly aphetic < appurtenance n. Compare pertinence n.1, pertinent n.The forms in -ts , -tz , -z apparently show reanalysis as if plurals of a noun with final -t (compare Anglo-Norman purtenaunt (adjective) pertaining, belonging (c1290 or earlier) and Middle English portinaunt (see discussion at pertinent adj. and n.), which occurs in the same source as the form portinauntz ). Such forms are apparently sometimes construed as plural: compare e.g. quots. 1541 at sense 1a, c1384 at sense 1b, ?a1400 at sense 1b, 1432 at sense 1b. The β. forms show elision of the unstressed medial syllable. N.E.D. (1909) assigned the following quot. to sense 2, but it seems more likely that it shows either sense 1b (so Middle Eng. Dict. s.v. purtenaunce), or sense 1a: ▸ 1440 Promptorium Parvulorum (Harl. 221) 410 Portenaunce, of a thynge, pertinencia, in plurali excidie. 1.
