词源：
forfeit (n.)late 14c., forfet, “misdeed, offense against established authority,” also “something to which the right is lost through a misdeed,” from Old French forfet, forfait “crime, punishable offense” (12c.), originally past participle of forfaire “transgress,” from for- “outside, beyond” (from Latin foris; see foreign) + faire “to do” (from Latin facere “to make, do,” from PIE root *dhe- “to set, put”). A French version of Medieval Latin foris factum; the notion perhaps is to “do too much, go beyond (what is right).” As an adjective from late 14c., from Old French forfait.

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
forfeit (n.)late 14c., forfet，“不当行为，对既定权威的冒犯”，也“因不当行为而失去权利的事物”，源自古法语 forfet，forfait “犯罪，应受惩罚的罪行”（12c.） ，最初是 forfaire“越界”的过去分词，来自 for-“外面，超越”（来自拉丁语 foris；参见外国）+ faire“做”（来自拉丁语facere“做，做”，来自 PIE 词根 *dhe-“设置、放置”）。中世纪拉丁语 forisfactum 的法语版本；这个概念也许是“做得太多，超越（正确的）”。作为 14 世纪末的形容词，源自古法语 forfait。比较止赎。相关条目及更多
