pawned
Left as collateral
Pawned describes something left with a pawnbroker as security for a loan.
You surrender an item—jewelry, electronics, a guitar—and receive cash; if you repay the loan plus interest, you reclaim your property.
If not, the pawnbroker sells it.
He pawned his watch to make rent.
Figuratively, to pawn something off is to pass it to someone else, often deceptively: She pawned the extra work off on the new guy.
