attache meaning
An attachÃ© is a thin briefcase used for carrying papers. It is sometimes called an attachÃ© case. You may notice that in spy movies, an attachÃ© is often swapped out by the bad guy, and then the good guy spends the rest of the movie trying to get it back. AttachÃ© comes from the French attacher, which literally means attached, and it was first applied to someone working for a diplomat, such as a junior officer. Now an attachÃ© is a technical expert assigned to the staff of a diplomatic mission.
