How to use "Forfeit" in context?
The word forfeit is derived from Middle French forfaire, from Medieval Latin forfettum, from forficere to deprive of, from foris outside + facere to do. In law, forfeitures are the deprivation of possessions, typically as the penalty for a criminal offence. In common law jurisdictions, forfeiture is the hypothetical process by which something may be judicially appropriated by the state as punishment for a crime. Forfeiture precludes its ownership by any party other than the state and it is a prelude to civil action to recover the Property.
