Etymology of TACKLES
The word "tackle" has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French word "tacle" meaning a rope or rigging. The Old French term itself was taken from the Medieval Latin word "tacculum", which denotes a rope used for fastening. Ultimately, "tackle" can be traced back to the Latin word "tacere", meaning "to fasten" or "to attach". Over time, the term expanded its meaning to refer to various tools, equipment, or actions involved in securing or handling objects, particularly in a nautical or sporting context. The plural form, "tackles", simply results from adding the "-s" ending to make it plural.
