Definition of the word <b>attendance</b>

Origin of the word attendance

The word "attendance" has its roots in Old French and Latin. The French word "attente" means "waiting" or "expectation," while the Latin word "attendere" means "to give heed to" or "to take care of." In the 14th century, the French word "attente" was borrowed into Middle English as "attendance," initially referring to the act of waiting or showing up. Over time, the meaning of "attendance" expanded to include the act of being present or participating in an event, meeting, or activity. In modern English, attendance refers to the act of being physically or virtually present, often in a formal or institutional setting, such as a school or workplace. The term is often associated with punctuality, regularity, and commitment.
