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.

Figurative sense of "to catch and hold" (the attention, etc.) is from 1814.
