Etymology
The word 'arresting' originated from the Middle English word 'aresten', which means 'to stop, check, or hinder'. It later evolved to include the notion of seizing or taking into custody, particularly in a legal context. The adjective form 'arresting' emerged in the 18th century, referring to something that captures attention or holds it in a striking manner.
