protect: protect: [16] The -tect element of protect goes back to the past participle of Latin tegere ‘cover’ (source of English integument [17] and toga [16] and related to thatch). Combination with the prefix prō- ‘in front’ produced prōtegere ‘cover in front, protect’. Another English product of the past participle tectus is detect [15].
