Have you seen those new houses that are attached to each other?

Root Explanation

Attached → It is formed from "attach" (from Old French *atachier*, meaning to fasten or join) and "-ed" (a suffix indicating past tense or completed action). The word "attached" means having been fastened or joined to something.
