confiscatev.

/ˈkɒnfᵻskeɪt//kɒnˈfɪskeɪt/
Etymology: < Latin confiscāt- participial stem of confiscāre : see the earlier confisk v., through French. Confiscate , as the direct representative of Latin confiscātus , was used as a participial adjective before the verb was introduced, and afterwards still continued to be a form of the past participle = confiscated : see confiscate adj.As in other words of the same form, compensate, concentrate, contemplate, etc., the stress is now usually on the first syllable, but till c1864 the dictionaries had only conˈfiscate, Knowles (1835) alone giving ˈconfiscate as an alternative. This was also the ordinary usage of the poets, though both forms occur in Shakespeare and in Byron.
