retainment
Act of keeping
Retainment is a rarely used variant of retention, meaning the act of keeping or holding onto something.
While retention is the standard noun form in most contexts—employee retention, water retention, memory retention—retainment occasionally appears in formal or legal writing.
The company's retainment of outdated policies frustrated workers.
Most style guides and editors prefer retention.
