Prehend is a verb that means to take hold of, grasp, or seize. It is derived from the Latin word prehendere, which means 'to seize.' The term can be broken down into three parts: GET (3 letters), CATCH (5 letters), and COLLAR (6 letters). Each of these words describes an action that involves taking hold of something. GET implies taking something quickly, CATCH implies taking something with skill, and COLLAR implies taking something firmly. Together, these three words form the verb prehend, which describes the act of taking hold of something.
