Etymology

The noun **tentant** comes from the French verb *tenter* “to try, to tempt”. *Tentant* is a nominalised present participle, itself derived from the Latin *tentare* “to test, to try”, which in turn goes back to *tendere* “to stretch”. Historically it was used in Old French to denote an “attempt” or a “susceptible to be tempted” person, and has survived mainly in legal‑religious contexts.
