attachment
File with email
Attachment is the state of being connected to something, whether physically or emotionally.
A document or file sent along with an email is an attachment.
In law, attachment is the seizure of property by legal process.
The word often describes emotional bonds: her attachment to her childhood home, forming attachments too quickly.
An attachment can also be a device that connects to something larger to extend its function: a vacuum cleaner attachment.
