sequestering
隔離する
解説 Definition
隔離する、または分離する。法律では資産を差し押さえることもある。
Sequestering means keeping a person, group, or thing separate from others, often to protect, control, or isolate it. It is used in formal contexts such as health, law, or management. As a verb form, it describes the action of separating something from normal contact or use.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
sequester はまず "set aside（脇に分けて置く）" の硬い言い方として覚えると残りやすいです。isolate が一般的な「切り離す」、quarantine が病気対策の「隔離する」なのに対し、sequester は陪審員・資産・炭素などを、権限や手続きに従って別枠に置く感じ。sequester assets, sequester a jury, carbon sequestration の形で見ると定着しやすいです。sequestering はその進行形で、「意図的に隔離・分離している最中」と捉えると混同しにくくなります。
Think of `sequester` as a formal way to say `set aside`. It often appears when something is officially kept separate: `sequester assets`, `sequester a jury`, `carbon sequestration`. `Sequestering` is the ongoing action, so picture something being deliberately placed in a separate space.

sequestering の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 sequestrāre（仲介者に預ける・隔離する）から。語根 sequester は「仲介人・保管者」の意。法律用語で財産を第三者に預ける意味から「隔離する・分離する」へ拡大した。関連語: sequestration, sequester。
"Sequestering" comes from Latin "sequestrare," meaning to hand over to a trustee, mediator, or keeper. The noun behind it referred to an intermediary or deposit-holder. From the legal idea of placing property in someone else's care, the meaning broadened to "separate," "isolate," or "set apart," as in related words like "sequester" and "sequestration."
