Did You Know?
If you abstain，you&39;s no surprise that abstain traces back through Middle English and Anglo-French to the Latin abstinēre，which combines the prefix ab- (&34;) with tenēre，a Latin verb meaning &34; Tenēre has many offspring in English—other descendants include contain，detain，maintain，obtain，pertain，retain，and sustain，as well as some words that don't end in -tain，such as tenacious. Abstain，like many of its cousins，has been used by English speakers since at least the 14th century.
