逮捕

接頭辞ar-はad-と同じ。 rest、停止、接頭辞re-から、後方へ。接頭辞stは「立つ」。

arrest: arrest: [14] The Latin verb restāre meant ‘stand back, remain behind’ or ‘stop’ (it is the source of English rest in the sense ‘remainder’). The compound verb arrestāre, formed in postclassical times from the prefix ad- and restāre, had a causative function: ‘cause to remain behind or stop’, hence ‘capture, seize’. These meanings were carried over via Old French arester into English.
