verb/at.niʁ/
to border; be next to; abut
“1956, Bernard Tourville & Evelyn Colomb (translators), Arthur Conan Doyle (author), “La Ligue des Rouquins”; original English: Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Red-headed League” (short story), in The Strand Magazine, 1891 August” — I walked round the corner, saw the City and Suburban Bank abutted on our friend's premises.
Borrowed from Latin attinere (with adaptation in conjugation to tenir), but modern uses are likely back-formations from the more current adjective attenant).
