Word history:.The word prison has its origins not in the notions of what such a place is but rather in the notion of how one gets there. The word prison can be traced back to the Latin word meaning 'the action or power of making an arrest'. This in turn is derived from the verb 'prehendere' or 'prendere', which meant 'to take hold of', 'take into custody', 'arrest'. The word then dives into the obscurity of the time when Romance languages such as French were being formed and resurfaces in the Old French of the 12th century with the form prison and the senses 'capture' and 'place of imprisonment'. This new sense could have already been developed in Latin and not been recorded, but we have to wait until the 12th century to see it, the sense 'captivity' being added in the same century. From Old French as well as the Medieval Latin word priso, 'prison', derived from Old French, came our Middle English word 'prisoun', first recorded in a work written before 1121 A.D. in the sense 'imprisonment'. 'place of imprisonment' is recorded shortly afterward.
