plural of attachment
"I need to send you all the necessary document attachments before we can finalize the contract today."
In plain English: Attachments are extra files you can add to messages or emails so people can see them easily.
"She checked the email attachments before opening them."
Usage: Use attachments to refer to files added to an email or documents included with a letter. Do not use this term for emotional bonds or physical fastenings unless specifically discussing digital file transfers.
Derived from Old French attacher, this term originally meant to fasten or tie something securely. It later evolved in English to denote documents added to legal filings or emotional bonds formed with people and objects.
