the.com/attendance
Proof you showed up, not proof you were paying attention.
means The fact or record of being present at a place or event.
from From French attendance, tracing to Latin attendere — 'to stretch toward' (ad- 'toward' + tendere 'to stretch'). The original sense was mental stretching, i.e. paying heed; 'being present' grew out of that older meaning of attending to something, so the word has been quietly drifting from attention to mere presence for centuries.
