forced repayment
Etymology
'compulsorily-repaid' originates from the Latin word 'compellere,' where 'com-' meant 'together' and 'pellere' meant 'to drive.'
'compellere' transformed into the Old French word 'compeller,' and eventually became the modern English word 'compel' through Middle English. 'Repaid' comes from the Latin 'repayere,' meaning 'to pay back.'
Initially, 'compel' meant 'to drive together,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to force or oblige.' 'Repaid' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to pay back.'
