Etymology

Formed from contratto, from Latin contractum (compare French contracter), past participle of contrahō (“to draw, bring or drag several objects together; collect, assemble, gather, amass; to bring about, accomplish, execute, get, cause, produce, make; to make a contract, conclude, transact, do business, contract”), from con- (“with, together”) + trahō (“to draw, to pull”).
