the.com/attribute
The adjective that got a job and never looked back.
means A quality or feature belonging to someone or something — or, as a verb, to credit a cause or source for it.
from From Latin attribuere, 'to assign or bestow' — ad- ('to') plus tribuere ('to give, allot'), the same tribuere that gave us 'tribute' and 'contribute.' All three words share the old Roman sense of dividing things among the tribes (tribus), so 'attribute' was once simply another word for a share handed out — before it settled into meaning the trait or cause we hand credit to.
