The word ‘attain‘ derives from the Middle English word ‘atainen,‘ which in turn comes from the Old French ‘ataindre,‘ meaning to ‘reach, arrive at.‘ The Old French word is also derived from the Late Latin ‘attangere,‘ which means ‘to touch upon.‘ The word ‘attain‘ has been in use since the 14th century.
