/sɪˈkwestə(r)//sɪˈkwestər/The verb "sequester" originally comes from the Middle English word "squieren," meaning "to put in custody" or "to remove and confine." This word, in turn, arrived in English from the Old French "sequestrer," which derives from the Latin "sequestrARE," which means "to remove" or "to take away." In its original sense, sequestration referred to the confinement of property, typically during legal proceedings, and was typically imposed by a court. In the modern sense, sequestration is often applied to individuals, who may be isolated or temporally removed from others for various reasons, including legal or medical situations. Its roots, however, still linger in the meaning of confiscation and custody, which emphasizes the historical foundations of this intriguing word.
