Origin

Middle English: from Old French seizir 'give seisin', from medieval Latin sacire, in the phrase ad proprium sacire 'claim as one's own', from a Germanic base meaning 'procedure'.

Seize goes back to the customs of feudal times. It is from Old French seizir ‘give seisin’ (legal possession), from medieval Latin ad proprium sacire ‘claim as one's own’, from a Germanic base meaning ‘procedure’ going back to the same root as sake. The sense ‘jam, cease to function’ in mechanical contexts dates from the late 19th century.
