Word origin
The term 'sequestrated' originates from the Latin word 'sequestrare', which means 'to set aside' or 'to separate'. The root 'sequestr-' traces back to 'sequester', meaning to withdraw or to separate, primarily used in legal contexts to indicate taking possession of property. Over time, this term has been adopted into English legal jargon to refer specifically to the judicial act of seizing or isolating assets. With increased complexity in legal systems, the use of sequestration has become commonplace in bankruptcy and court cases, serving as a mechanism to protect certain assets until proper determinations regarding ownership and debt obligations can be made.
