Ransom
Ransom refers to the practice of holding a prisoner or item to extort money or property to secure their release. It also refers to the sum of money paid by the other party to secure a captive's freedom.
When ransom means "payment", the word comes via Old French rançon from Latin redemptio, 'buying back'; compare "redemption".
