Root Breakdown
Root-derivedmaintain + -ed = kept up / kept in good condition. Note: despite the 'main' spelling, this is NOT the manēre (stay) root — maintain comes from Latin manū tenēre, 'to hold (tenēre) in the hand (manus).' The 'main-' here is the hand, which is why we ref it to the tain (hold) root.
