I do not think that word means what you think it means.

It is possible, it was a suggestion from a translator

Which word?

What do you think he thinks it means?

What do you think it means?

What does it actually mean?

I'm guessing he meant tendency.

[–] EdwardHaskell (122) 6 months ago

That explains it. And I'm sure you know what it means.

In fact, I know what both Tendency and Tenacity mean. And also Tenacious D.

He looks up to him and is attracted to him.

In the books, he addresses Frodo as "master", and obviously that had to change!

And BTW he was using the word in the old-fashioned way, to mean "employer".

Because in his eyes, they aren't "friends". They're employer and employee, master and servant (not in that way, you pervs). That's the old-time British class system for you.
