seize[seize 词源字典]

seize: [13] Seize entered English as a term in the feudal legal system, meaning ‘take possession of property’. It was borrowed from Old French seisir, which went back via a Gallo-Latin *sacīre ‘claim’ to a prehistoric Germanic *sakjan. This in turn was derived from the base *sak- ‘process’, which also produced English sake (one of whose ancestral meanings was ‘legal action’).
