Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Old French verb 'arrester' (to stop, stay), which stems from the Vulgar Latin *arrestare, composed of the Latin 'ad-' (to, toward) and 'restare' (to remain, stay behind). Originally carrying the broad medical and mechanical sense of stopping movement or action, it evolved in Anglo-Norman legal terminology to denote the official apprehension of a person by legal authority.
