In Latin, 'tenere' can also mean 'tender' and 'tenerasco' 'become 'tender'.
So this could refer to something tender or pounded.

translate as "take the tengato of whatever you want, and take almonds and
ginger and cinnamon, the best that you can have, and spice some with cloves
and nutmeg and a little saffron, and mix these things well, and grind
them..." It's to make a sauce. I've consulted all my Italian dictionaries,
tried spelling variations, and tried searching google books for the word in
context, and what I've found is that "tengato" is occasionally a past
participle of the verb "tenere", which means "to hold", which is only so
helpful.
