In German universities and schools, the Latin word and the concept was adopted for detention, or Karzer (kar-tser). Originally, at a university in the Middle Ages, it was detention for a severe offense. By the 19th century, it came to represent more what we would expect for detention at a school. It became a point of honor as a university student to have been assigned Karzer at least once during your time at school.
Carcer is what the Romans called prison. “In” is what the Romans called “in”. And now it is easy to remember what incarcerated means.
