With use as noun compare classical Latin pertinentia (plural) relevant matters, in post-classical Latin also appurtenances (9th cent.; frequently from c1070 in British sources), Old French pertenent (1186 in an isolated attestation), Old Occitan pertinent (1202 or earlier), both in sense ‘appurtenance’.Compare slightly earlier portinaunt in the following apparently isolated attestation (probably < Anglo-Norman; compare Anglo-Norman portenir and variants of Anglo-Norman apurtenaunce appurtenance n. showing final -t ):c1384 in R.
