What is a homophone for captured?

There is no perfect homophone for "captured" in the sense of being seized or taken. However, "captivated" is a close alternative, as it shares the same pronunciation but has a slightly different meaning, referring to being enchanted or enthralled.

Here's an example:

* Captured: The police captured the thief.

* Captivated: The audience was captivated by the performance.

While not a perfect replacement, "captivated" can sometimes be used in situations where the meaning is close enough.
