had officially expropriate

/hæd əˈfɪʃəli ɪkˈsproʊprieɪtɪd/

Past perfect tense of the verb phrase meaning a governing authority or other entity had legally seized private property for public use or a stated public purpose.

The government confirmed it had officially expropriated the farmland to build a new railway line.

Etymology

The core verb 'expropriate' derives from the 16th-century Latin 'expropriatus', past participle of 'expropriare' meaning 'to take away from one's property', combining the prefix ex- (out of) and 'proprius' (one's own). 'Officially' entered English in the 14th century, while the past perfect construction 'had' is the older past form of the Old English verb 'habban', meaning 'to hold or have'.
