prohibit
意味: To formally forbid something by law, rule, or authority; to make an action or practice illegal or unacceptable.
Prohibit is stronger than 'discourage' or 'restrict' — it implies a complete ban backed by some form of authority. It is standard in legal, regulatory, and policy language. Common collocations include 'prohibit the sale of,' 'strictly prohibited,' and 'prohibited substance.' The noun 'prohibition' is also common, both generally and as a historical reference to the American alcohol ban of 1920-33.
