The answer
CATCH
What catch means
To grab, seize, or stop something in motion before it falls or escapes, or to discover someone doing something wrong.
Where the word comes from
From Old North French *caccher*, meaning "to hunt" or "to chase," which likely derives from Vulgar Latin *captiare*, a frequentative form of *capere* meaning "to seize" or "to take." The word entered Middle English as *cacchen* and gradually shifted in meaning from hunting to the broader sense of capturing or grasping something. The modern sense of "catching" an illness or idea developed from this core notion of taking hold of something.
