foreclosure
含义: The legal process by which a lender takes possession of a property when the borrower fails to keep up with mortgage repayments.
Foreclosure occurs when a homeowner defaults on their mortgage, and the lender exercises their legal right to seize and sell the property to recover the outstanding debt. The term is more common in American English; in British English, 'repossession' is more widely used. The verb form is 'foreclose.' Foreclosure rates rise during economic downturns.
