Look up the damn word, man. You're making a fool of yourself.

He's not making a fool of himself. He's trying to point out that the
word has different (even contradictory) meanings.

The first meaning in the Shorter Oxford is "The act of standing still,
or stopping in one's course; halt; delay." It's only when you get to
the third meaning of the verb intransitive that you get to "Apprehend
.... by legal authority."

Now you have to define apprehend. Sounds like more than detaining to
me.
