Etymology

**Attirance** comes from the French verb **attirer**, which entered the language in the 16th century from Latin *attractō* (from *at-* “to” + *tūcere* “to pull, draw”). The noun form, first recorded in the early 17th century, preserves the sense of “being drawn toward” something. Over time the spelling settled on *attirance*, distinguishing it from the later, more common noun *attraction*.
