(append)

Etymology
'append' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'appendere', where 'ad-' meant 'to, toward' and 'pendere' meant 'to hang'.
'append' changed from Medieval Latin 'appendere' (and related Old French forms) and eventually became the modern English word 'append' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to hang on or attach by hanging', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to add or attach (often at the end)'.
