Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Retain का '-tain' वही है जो maintain, contain, obtain में है — थामे रखना। Retain = अपने पास थामे रखना। उल्टा: release, relinquish।
The '-tain' in RETAIN means 'hold', just as in maintain, contain and obtain. To retain is to keep holding something — to keep it with you. Its opposite is release or relinquish.
