to prohibit; pro before, forth + habere to have, hold. See

1. To forbid by authority; to interdict; as, God prohibited
Adam from eating of the fruit of a certain tree; we
prohibit a person from doing a thing, and also the doing
of the thing; as, the law prohibits men from stealing, or
it prohibits stealing.
Note: Prohibit was formerly followed by to with the
infinitive, but is now commonly followed by from with
the verbal noun in -ing.
2. To hinder; to debar; to prevent; to preclude.

Barred over us, prohibit all egress. --Milton.
Syn: To forbid; interdict; debar; prevent; hinder.
Usage: {Prohibit}, {Forbid}. To forbid is Anglo-Saxon, and is
more familiar; to prohibit is Latin, and is more
formal or official. A parent forbids his child to be
out late at night; he prohibits his intercourse with
the profane and vicious.
