The term that concerns us has several uses in our language.
Physical or personality qualities of someone
One of the most widespread is undoubtedly the one that says what attribute they are those qualities of a certain being, whether physical, personality, in the case of people. "Simplicity is undoubtedly the best attribute that Juan has and the one that distinguishes him from the rest of the group."
The physical or character attributes of someone are normally taken as defining the person who has them and many times they are recognized by them, such is the case of the example. They always respond to positive qualities and add to the assessment of the person, this of course in regard to the attributes of the personality.

Use in grammar
AND in grammar, the term attribute corresponds to the apposition (construction from two grammatical components, of which the second of them specifies the first) by means of an adjective that will have the function of referring to the quality of a noun, a substantiated verb, a proposition or a complement. The aforementioned quality turns out to be something inherent in the very being of the subject or object in question and not a purely accidental matter. As long as the essence remains, the attribute will remain the same; he celebrated his birthday in a huge house, enormous is the attribute of the aforementioned prayer.
Symbols that represent the character or position of the figures that hold them
And finally an attribute is also that symbol denoting the character of the figuresFor example, the trident is the distinctive attribute that Neptune presents. The attributes in this sense help to confer on someone, a person, a deity, the relevance they hold and also serve as a way of representing the authority they hold in some matter.
