Did you know?
"Tangible" is related to "tactile," and so are "intact," "tact,"
"contingent," "tangent," and even "entire." There's also the uncommon noun
"taction," meaning "the act of touching." Like "tactile," all of these words
can be traced back to the Latin verb "tangere," meaning "to touch." "Tactile"
made its way to our language by way of French, touching ground in English in
the early 17th century.
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
