sequestriamo

Sequestriamo is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Italian verb sequestrare. The verb is transitive and encompasses several related senses: to detain or abduct a person, to seize or impound property, and more broadly to place assets under custody or protection by legal authority. In everyday language, it can describe both criminal actions (kidnapping) and civil or administrative measures (asset seizure).

Origin and terminology: Sequestrare derives from Latin sequestrare, linked to sequestrum, meaning something set apart. The noun sequestro denotes the act or result of sequestration. Related terms include sequestrazione (the act of sequestration) and sequestrato (sequestered, past participle). In legal contexts, phrases such as sequestro conservativo (conservatory or preventive seizure of assets) and sequestro di persona (kidnapping) are common.

Usage: The verb appears in criminal and civil contexts and in general discourse. It covers actions of taking control of a person or property and placing it under custody. Grammatical notes: sequestrare is a regular -are verb. Present indicative forms follow the standard pattern for -are verbs: io sequestrO, tu sequestri, lui/lei sequestra, noi sequestriamo, voi sequestrate, loro sequestrano. The past participle is sequestrato; passive or compound forms use essere or avere as appropriate.
