Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the verb 'arrest', originating from Old French 'arester' (to stop, stay, arrest), from Vulgar Latin *arrestare, combining Latin 'ad-' (to) and 'restare' (to remain, stay). Combined with the suffix '-able' (capable of being), which stems from Latin '-abilis' via Old French, the term evolved in legal contexts during the modern English period to describe offenses for which a person may lawfully be arrested.
