Portuguese
editAlternative forms
edit- comprehender (obsolete)

Etymology
editSemi-learned borrowing from Latin comprehendere (“to grasp”). Cf. the older variant comprehender, as well as the inherited comprender. The latter was likely modified into its current form to more closely reflect the Latin etymology.
