Adjective

IPA: /ˈte.ner/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈt̪ɛnɛr] [Classical-Latin], /ˈte.ner/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt̪ɛːner] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Disputed; either: * From Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, draw”). Cognates would include Ancient Greek τείνω (teínō), Sanskrit तनोति (tanóti) and Old English þennan. * Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ter- (“soft, weak, tender; young, small”) with dissimilation or metathesis: according to M. de Vaan, from Proto-Italic *terenos along with Sabine terenum (“soft”). Further cognates would include Epic Greek τέρην (térēn, “soft, gentle”), Old Armenian թոռն (tʻoṙn, “grandchild”), Middle Armenian թարմ (tʻarm, “fresh”) and Sanskrit तरुण (táruṇa, “young, tender, juvenile”), तर्ण (tárṇa, “calf”).
