Etymology of IMPRISONS

The word "imprisons" is derived from the Middle English word "emprisonen" which comes from the Old French word "emprisoner", meaning "to imprison". The Old French term evolved from the Medieval Latin word "imprisonare", which combined the Latin prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "into") with the Latin word "prisonem" (meaning "prison"). The Latin word "prisonem" can be traced back to the Late Latin word "prehensio", meaning "seizure" or "arrest". Overall, the etymology of "imprisons" can be traced back to Latin and Old French origins.
