Definition of pawn

Definition: When you give something valuable to someone as security for a loan, it is called pawning. Usually, people pawn their jewelry or other valuable items to pawnbrokers to get a small loan.

Examples:

  • She pawned her diamond ring to get some money for her rent.
  • He had to pawn his watch to pay for his medical bills.

These examples illustrate how people use their valuable items as collateral to get a loan. They deposit their personal property with the pawnbroker, who holds it until the loan is repaid. If the loan is not repaid, the pawnbroker can sell the item to recover the money.
