peer agreement (net): +1attach Explanation: Warning: this is wild and unsupported speculation. The Swedish "avlagring" meaning deposit or sediment looks like a borrowing from German to me; this sortof make sense for a thin membrane stuck to a surface (describing how it got there rather than what it does there). Blending this with the concept of supporting something, I agree, "attached" certainly feels correct in this context. |
