Etymology

**Etymology** *Apprentissage* derives from the Old French verb *aprendre* (“to learn”), which itself comes from Latin *apprehendere* (“to grasp, to take up”), with the prefix *ad-* (“to”) + *prehendere* (“to seize”). The noun is formed by adding the French suffix *‑age*, a productive agentive ending that turns verbs into nouns denoting the process or result of that action. Thus, *apprentissage* literally means “the act of grasping or taking up knowledge.”
