the.com/tenant

means Someone who occupies and pays rent for land, a building, or an apartment that belongs to someone else.

from From French tenant, 'holding,' the present participle of tenir, 'to hold' — itself from Latin tenere, same meaning. A tenant is literally 'one who holds' the property, though only by agreement and only for as long as the rent is paid; the word's own grammar admits it's a temporary grip, not ownership.
