attached
Fixed to something
Attached means connected or fastened to something else: The receipt is attached to the email.
Beyond physical connection, attached describes emotional bonds—to be attached to someone or something is to feel fondness or loyalty: She's very attached to that old sweater.
In relationships, attached means not single: Sorry, I'm attached.
An attaché is a specialist assigned to a diplomatic mission.
