A quick definition of lockup:

Term: LOCKUP

Definition: A lockup is a place where people who have broken the law are kept as punishment. It is like a jail. Lockup can also refer to a type of financial option where the holder has the right to sell an asset at a certain price for a specific period of time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A lockup is a place where people are held in custody, usually as a form of punishment for breaking the law. It can also refer to a financial option that allows an investor to lock in a specific price for a security.

  • After being arrested for theft, the suspect was taken to the local lockup.
  • The city council approved the construction of a new lockup facility to address overcrowding in the current jail.
  • Investors can use a lockup option to protect themselves from market fluctuations by locking in a specific price for a security.

The first two examples illustrate the use of lockup as a jail or detention facility. The third example shows how lockup can also refer to a financial option used by investors.
