sequestrate
Seize by authority
Sequestrate is a formal or legal variant of sequester, meaning to set apart, isolate, or seize property temporarily.
Courts sequestrate assets during disputes; juries are sequestrated from outside influence.
The word appears mainly in legal and Scottish contexts, where sequester would serve in everyday speech: The court ordered the funds sequestrated pending investigation.
