History
Etymology
From attrahent-, the stem of the Latin attrahēns (“drawing, pulling, or dragging to or toward with force”; “drawing”, “alluring”, “leading”, “bringing”, “moving”, “attracting”), the present active participle of attrahō (“to draw, pull, or drag to or toward with force”; “to draw, allure, lead, bring, move, attract”), on whose perfect passive participial stem the English verb attract is modelled.
