Cognate with Sanskrit तनस् (tánas), Ancient Greek *τένος (*ténos) (attested in ἀτενής (atenḗs)), also with German Dohne which has the same meaning. More at teneō (“hold, grasp”). Compare typologically Ancient Greek πάγη (págē) (< Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ-). ==== Noun ==== tenus n (genitive tenoris); third declension a stretched cord ===== Declension ===== Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem). === Etymology 2 === From Proto-Italic *tenos, from Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, draw”). The specific etymology is debated: De Vaan suggests that it is merely a petrified accusative of extent of the s-stem *tenos and rejects Meiser's suggestion that it stems from the Proto-Indo-European perfect participle *tn̥-wós. ==== Alternative forms ==== -tenus (suffixed) ==== Postposition ==== tenus (+ genitive, ablative) (with genitive and ablative) Right up to, as far as, just as far as Synonyms: usque, usque ad (with ablative, of a process) Up to (a given stage of) (with genitive and ablative, of limitation) To the maximum extent of, within (Ecclesiastical Latin) lengthwise; along ===== Derived terms ===== === References === “tĕnus1”, in Charlton T.
