Etymology of CONTAINED

The word "contained" originates from the Latin word "continere", which is a combination of "con-" (meaning "together") and "tenere" (meaning "to hold"). This Latin verb turned into the Middle English word "contenen", which eventually evolved into "contained" in Present-day English. The term "contained" is derived from this etymological root, reflecting the notion of something being held or kept together within certain limits or boundaries.
