To sequestrate is a law word: a court takes property away from the person it belongs to because they have not paid their debts. The goods are set aside — held or sold — so the money owed can be recovered. You will see it in British legal English, and it is especially at home in Scottish court language; everyday people say seize, take, or freeze someone’s assets. It is not locking a person in a quiet house, and it is not a sequestered valley. Those quieter meanings sit on a related word, sequester. This one is formal, courtroom language, and it is about property, not peace and quiet.
扣押、查封（財產；法律用語）
組成A back-formation from sequestration: English speakers built a verb by cutting the noun down, rather than the other way round.
