Etymology of ESCROD

The word "escrow" derives from the Old French term "escroue", which means a scrap of paper or parchment. This itself originated from the Late Latin word "scroda" or "scrota", a rolled parchment or scroll. In medieval times, legal documents relating to agreements or contracts were often written on scrolls and held by a trusted third party until conditions were met. Over time, the term "escrow" came to refer to the process or arrangement of having a neutral party hold funds or documents on behalf of transacting parties until certain conditions were satisfied.
