Etymology and history:

Añadir comes from the Latin ad- + addere (to add), evolving in Spanish through phonetic changes that yield the modern form available in contemporary usage. The prefix a- in many Romance languages merges with the root to produce the familiar aquí and allí patterns found in Spanish vocabulary related to addition or insertion.

Usage:

Añade is used in a wide range of contexts where something is being added or included. It appears in everyday speech, written instructions, and user interfaces. Examples: “Añade mantequilla a la mezcla,” “Por favor, añade tu nombre al registro,” o en una instrucción de software: “Añade un nuevo archivo.” The form also appears in reports or data entry when indicating that a value should be appended.
