词源：
tender (adj.)c. 1200, “immature, having the delicacy of youth, unsophisticated,” also “susceptible to injury, sensitive to pain,” from Old French tendre, Anglo-French tender, “soft, delicate; young” (11c.), from Latin tenerem (nominative tener) “soft, delicate; of tender age, youthful.” For the unetymological -d-, see D.
This is reconstructed to be a derivative of PIE root *ten- “to stretch” on the notion of “stretched,” hence “thin,” hence “weak” or “young.” Compare Sanskrit tarunah “young, tender,” Greek teren “tender, delicate,” Armenian t’arm “young, fresh, green.” Also see tenet.
The meaning “kind, affectionate, loving” also “easily pained, very sensitive,” is recorded from late 13c. As “expressing sensitive feelings” from c. 1300.
Of food, “not tough, soft and easy to cut or chew,” mid-13c. Of plants and their parts, “slender, not hardy,” late 14c. Related: Tenderly; tenderness.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
投标（形容词）c. 1200，“不成熟，具有青春的精致，不成熟”，也“容易受伤，对疼痛敏感”，源自古法语tendre，英法温柔，“柔软，精致；年轻”（11c.），源自拉丁语tenerem （主格tener）“柔软、精致；年幼、年轻。”对于未词源的 -d-，请参见 D。它被重构为 PIE 词根 *ten- “拉伸”的派生词，意思是“拉伸”，因此是“薄”，因此是“弱”或“年轻”。比较梵语 tarunah“年轻、温柔”，希腊语 teren“温柔、细腻”，亚美尼亚语 t’arm“年轻、新鲜、绿色”。另见宗旨。意思是“善良、深情、爱”，也“容易感到痛苦、非常敏感”，记录自 13 世纪晚期。作为c中的“表达敏感的感情”。 1300. 食物“不坚韧、柔软且易于切割或咀嚼”，13c 中期。 14世纪末，植物及其部分“细长，不耐寒”。相关： 温柔;温柔。相关条目及更多
