Is their a verb meaning 'to hold someone hostage' or a noun for what one policeman, quoted in an American paper, called 'a hostage situation' ? ( Officials like 'situation' . I'm waiting for 'a fire situation' for 'a fire' !)

It is an adjective in "hostage situation".

It is a noun in "holding the hostage".

An adverb in "holding hostage".

How about "enhostage" or "hostaginate" as a verb?
