    Note

    A regular plural, formed with a simple -s, that carries two very different everyday readings. In law and policing, seizures are acts of taking possession by force or right, or the things taken. In medicine, they are sudden attacks or convulsions. The surrounding words decide: seizures of goods points to confiscation, while a patient's seizures points to illness. The plural can also name sudden onsets of pain or emotion.
