Where does the word "tender" come from?
"Tender," meaning "immature" or "sensitive to pain" comes from the Latintener "soft or youthful" around 1200. When it means "to make an offer," it comes from the Latin tendere, "to stretch." The noun "tender" meaning "a person who tends another" comes from the Latinattendere, "give heed to." Links.NightCafe Image Source
