📚 Etymology▼
'Tendrás' comes from the future tense of the verb 'tener'. 'Tener' itself is from the Latin verb 'tenēre', which meant 'to hold, to keep, to possess'. The future tense in Spanish was originally formed by combining the infinitive verb with the present tense of 'haber' (e.g., 'tener has' -> 'tendrás'), which over centuries fused into a single word.
First recorded: The Latin root 'tenēre' is ancient. The fused future tense form developed in Late Latin and was established in Old Spanish by the 12th century.
