Etymology
The word 'embargo' originates from the Spanish word 'embargar', which means to impede or to seize. It can be traced back to the Middle Ages and has roots in the Latin word 'imbarcare', which translates to 'to put on board a ship'. The practice of embargo led to the term becoming associated with maritime law, where a nation would prevent the loading or unloading of cargo. As the term evolved, its meaning expanded to include any governmental restriction on trade with another nation regardless of maritime contexts. By the late 18th century, the term began to be used more broadly, signifying not only a stop to shipping but also any official restriction on trade. The concept remains relevant in modern geopolitics as countries impose embargoes in response to international disputes or to promote compliance with treaties.
