Etymology
The Spanish verb "tender" comes from the Latin word 'tendere,' which means 'to stretch' or 'to extend.' Originally, it referred to stretching something out, which naturally extended to hanging clothes out to dry. Did you know? The same Latin root gave rise to English words like 'tend' and 'tendon,' all related to stretching or extending.
