This word is often found on the lead pages of national and international newspapers. It arises where the ideas and desires of a people and their government diverge or are in conflict.
When I hear it, I pick up the sharpness, the hard edge, the rough impact of the word on the ear. This gives it a compelling sensory texture when spoken clearly.
It's a verb that means 'to compel or restrain by force of authority without regard to individual wishes or desires'.
Arising from the Latin and used in 17 Century, it has remained true to is original meaning 'to confine or restrain'.
