The [[word]] "Arrest" is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Norman_language Anglo-Norman] in [[origin]], derived from the French word 'Arreter' [[meaning]] 'to stop or stay' and signifies a restraint of a [[person]]. Lexicologically, the meaning of the word arrest is given in various dictionaries depending upon the circumstances in which word is used. There are numerous [[slang]] terms for being arrested throughout the world. In British slang terminology, the term "nicked" is often synonymous with being arrested, and "nick" can also refer to a [[police]] station, and the term "pinched" is also common. In the United States and France the term "collared" is sometimes used. The term "lifted" is also heard on occasion.

==Description==
An '''arrest''' is the act of depriving a [[person]] of his or her [[liberty]] usually in [[relation]] to the [[investigation]] and prevention of [[crime]] or harm to others and oneself as well. The term is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Norman_language Anglo-Norman] in origin and is related to the French word arrêt, [[meaning]] "stop".
The word 'arrest' when used in its ordinary and [[natural]] sense, means the apprehension or restraint of a [[person]], or the deprivation of a person's [[liberty]]. The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of [[personal]] [[liberty]] of movement. When used in the legal sense in the procedure connected with [[criminal]] offenses, an arrest consists in the taking into [[custody]] of another person under [[authority]] empowered by [[law]], to be held or detained to answer a criminal charge or to prevent the commission of a criminal or further offense. The [[essential]] elements to [[constitute]] an arrest in the above sense are that there must be an [[intent]] to arrest under the authority, accompanied by a seizure or detention of the person in the [[manner]] known to [[law]], which is so understood by the [[person]] arrested.
[[Police]] and various other bodies have [[powers]] of arrest. In some places the power is more general; for example in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_and_Wales England and Wales]—with the notable exception of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy_of_the_United_Kingdom Monarch], the head of state—any person can arrest "anyone whom he has reasonable grounds for suspecting to be committing, have committed or be [[guilty]] of committing an indictable offence", although certain conditions must be met before taking such [[action]].
