From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Attachment \At*tach"ment\, n. [F. attachment.]       1. The act attaching, or state of being attached; close             adherence or affection; fidelity; regard; an[?] passion of             affection that binds a person; as, an attachment to a             friend, or to a party.          2. That by which one thing is attached to another;             connection; as, to cut the attachments of a muscle.                         The human mind . . . has exhausted its forces in the                      endeavor to rend the supernatural from its                      attachment to this history.               --I. Taylor.          3. Something attached; some adjunct attached to an             instrument, machine, or other object; as, a sewing machine             attachment (i. e., a device attached to a sewing machine             to enable it to do special work, as tucking, etc.).          4. (Giv. Law)             (a) A seizure or taking into custody by virtue of a legal                   process.             (b) The writ or percept commanding such seizure or taking.          Note: The term is applied to a seizure or taking either of                persons or property. In the serving of process in a                civil suit, it is most generally applied to the taking                of property, whether at common law, as a species of                distress, to compel defendant's appearance, or under                local statutes, to satisfy the judgment the plaintiff                may recover in the action. The terms attachment and                arrest are both applied to the taking or apprehension                of a defendant to compel an appearance in a civil                action. Attachments are issued at common law and in                chancery, against persons for contempt of court. In                England, attachment is employed in some cases where                capias is with us, as against a witness who fails to                appear on summons. In some of the New England States a                writ of attachment is a species of mesne process upon                which the property of a defendant may be seized at the                commencement of a suit and before summons to him, and                may be held to satisfy the judgment the plaintiff may                recover. In other States this writ can issue only                against absconding debtors and those who conceal                themselves. See {Foreign}, {Garnishment}, {Trustee                process}. --Bouvier. --Burrill. --Blackstone.          Syn: {Attachment}, {Affection}.          Usage: The leading idea of affection is that of warmth and                   tenderness; the leading idea of attachment is that of                   being bound to some object by strong and lasting ties.                   There is more of sentiment (and sometimes of romance)                   in affection, and more of principle in preserving                   attachment. We speak of the ardor of the one, and the                   fidelity of the other. There is another distinction in                   the use and application of these words. The term                   attachment is applied to a wider range of objects than                   affection. A man may have a strong attachment to his                   country, to his profession, to his principles, and                   even to favorite places; in respect to none of these                   could we use the word affection.

Attack \At*tack"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Attacked}; p. pr. & vb.       n. {Attacking}.] [F. attaquer, orig. another form of attacher       to attack: cf. It. attacare to fasten, attack. See {Attach},       {Tack} a small nail.]       1. To fall upon with force; to assail, as with force and             arms; to assault. [bd]Attack their lines.[b8] --Dryden.          2. To assail with unfriendly speech or writing; to begin a             controversy with; to attempt to overthrow or bring into             disrepute, by criticism or satire; to censure; as, to             attack a man, or his opinions, in a pamphlet.          3. To set to work upon, as upon a task or problem, or some             object of labor or investigation.          4.

To attack is to commence the onset; to assail                   is to make a sudden and violent attack, or to make                   repeated attacks; to assault (literally, to leap upon)                   is to attack physically by a had-to-hand approach or                   by unlawful and insulting violence; to invade is to                   enter by force on what belongs to another. Thus, a                   person may attack by offering violence of any kind; he                   may assail by means of missile weapons; he may assault                   by direct personal violence; a king may invade by                   marching an army into a country. Figuratively, we may                   say, men attack with argument or satire; they assail                   with abuse or reproaches; they may be assaulted by                   severe temptations; the rights of the people may be                   invaded by the encroachments of the crown.
