- 1沒收（刑法）；行政罰常說沒入。比「罰款」重：罰款是你繳的錢，沒收是把你的東西拿走。
Forfeiture is the official taking-away of money or property because someone broke a law or a rule. A court may order the forfeiture of a car used in a crime; a team may face forfeiture of a match (they lose by rule, not by play). It is a legal and formal word. The everyday cousin is forfeit — as a verb (you forfeit the prize) and as a shorter noun (the forfeit). Forfeiture names the act or the legal result, and you meet it in news about crime, contracts, and sport. Though actually, in sport people more often say they forfeited the game than they talk about forfeiture. In law, forfeiture can be huge: houses, ships, bank money. It is not a fine you choose to pay; it is something taken because of the broken rule.
組成From Middle English forfeture, from Old French forfaiture. In English it sits beside forfeit, as the longer official name for the taking-away.
