"attended with"
While looking up words in dictionary, I've found the words used in their definitions ambiguious to me.
ignominious : marked by, attended with ignominy
fiery : consisting of, attended with fire
QUESTION: What does attended with mean in the above setting? But I don't see the logic behind it when it's used this way.
I'm only familiar with the way using "attend" in two senses:
A) I have attended the meeting.
B) I have attended the patient with care.
