foreclose
의미: To rule out or prevent a particular course of action or possibility; in property law, to take possession of a mortgaged property when the borrower fails to keep up repayments.
Foreclose has a legal sense and a broader figurative sense. In property law, a lender forecloses on a mortgage, taking possession of the property. In general usage, to foreclose means to shut off or preclude a possibility — a decision that forecloses future options, or a statement that forecloses further debate. The figurative sense implies finality and irreversibility. The noun 'foreclosure' is standard in financial and legal reporting. The word is common in both legal and political writing.
