The Latin root tract means to pull or drag. Which word toward?

The word that uses the Latin root "tract" to mean "to pull or drag" and relates to "toward" is "attract."

Here's why:

* Attract: Means to draw something towards you, like a magnet attracting metal.

* Tract: The root "tract" signifies pulling or dragging.

* Toward: Indicates direction or movement in the direction of something.

Therefore, "attract" combines the idea of pulling (from "tract") in a direction "toward" something.
