More About Continue
Where does聽continue come from?
Continue entered English around 1300鈥50. Coming into English through French, continue ultimately comes from the Latin 肠辞苍迟颈苍耻腻谤别, meaning 鈥渢o make all one, join together, connect.鈥 This verb could also mean, much like its English derivative, 鈥渢o carry on, draw out, prolong, last鈥濃攖hat is, to continue.
The Latin verb 肠辞苍迟颈苍耻腻谤别 is formed from the adjective continuus. Does continuus look familiar? It鈥檚 the direct source of the English continuous, meaning 鈥渦ninterrupted in time; without cessation鈥 or 鈥渂eing in immediate connection or spatial relationship.鈥
The Latin adjective continuus meant 鈥渦ninterrupted, unbroken, continuous.鈥 That鈥檚 right: continuus meant, well, continuous. Sometimes, there is a great a deal of continuity in word development.
But we鈥檙e not done yet. The Latin continuus is itself ultimately based on another verb, 肠辞苍迟颈苍脓谤别, 鈥渢o hold or keep together.鈥 So, something that continues鈥攖hat is, it goes on, keeps on, or endures in some way鈥攕tays all held together, in an etymological manner of speaking.
Dig deeper
We noted above that continue is ultimately connected to 肠辞苍迟颈苍脓谤别, 鈥渢o hold together.鈥 颁辞苍迟颈苍脓谤别 is the source of some other familiar English words, including contain, continent, and content. Does knowing that all these words come from a verb meaning 鈥渢o hold together鈥 give you any deeper insights into these words?
For all this talk of holding things together, we can, er, continue breaking apart the roots of the Latin verb 肠辞苍迟颈苍脓谤别. It is composed of con鈥, a productive prefix with the sense of 鈥渨ith, together,鈥 and ten膿re, 鈥渢o hold.鈥
Derivations of ten膿re appears in a great many English words, including detain, detention, entertain, tenacious, tenant, tenet, retain, retention, sustain, and sustenance.
But don鈥檛 be fooled. While detain is related to detention and retain to retention, contain is not related to contention, or 鈥渟trife, contest, controversy.鈥 Contention is derived from the same Latin root that gives English contend.
