What does ATTEND mean in Scrabble?
verb
To be present at an event, meeting or place, or to give one's care, attention or service to someone or something.
A student who chooses to attend a lecture, a guest who decides to attend a wedding, and an employee who must attend a meeting are all using the word in its most everyday sense, planned appearance at a scheduled occasion. An older, more formal branch of the same word covers accompanying or looking after somebody, as when a nurse attends a patient through an illness, a sense that survives in phrases such as attending physician. The related phrasal form attend to narrows the focus further, pointing toward a single task rather than a whole occasion, as when an assistant attends to correspondence. English took the word from French, where it once meant simply to wait, a root sense that still faintly colours its modern uses.
How ATTEND is used
Common in education, business and formal writing for being present, and in more formal contexts for giving care or attention.
