had expropriated
/hæd ɛksˈproʊprieɪtɪd/
EN
The past perfect form of the verb 'expropriate', meaning that a government or authority had previously seized private property for public use, usually without the owner's full consent or fair compensation.
The new government announced it had expropriated all large agricultural estates from the former ruling family.
Etymology
'Expropriate' derives from the 16th-century Latin expropriatus, the past participle of expropriare, which combines ex- (out of) and proprium (property). The past perfect construction 'had expropriated' developed from the grammatical evolution of perfect aspect in English.
