Etymology of OBTAINED

The word "obtained" has its origins in the Latin word "obtinēre", which is a combination of the prefix "ob-" (meaning "against" or "towards") and the verb "tenēre" (meaning "to hold" or "to possess"). In Latin, "obtinēre" meant "to hold against" or "to hold fast". Over time, this Latin term evolved into Middle English, where it took the form "obteinen". Eventually, it became the modern English word "obtained", which still carries the sense of acquiring or gaining possession of something.
