1. As a verb meaning to take possession or control of something:

The word derives from the Old French verb "seisir" which originally meant "to put in a state or condition". It later acquired the additional meaning of "to take possession of", and this usage was borrowed into Middle English as "seisen" before evolving into the modern form "seize".
