抓住 (zhuāzhù) is usually used in the context of physically grabbing or capturing something or someone. It can also be used figuratively to mean "seize" or "grasp" in a non-physical sense.

For example, 抓住一只苍蝇 (zhuāzhù yī zhī cāngying) means "to catch a fly", while 抓住机会 (zhuāzhù jīhuì) means "to seize an opportunity".
