Word Knowledge

What does “prohibit” mean?

In working as an ASVAB tutor, I present 20-30 vocabulary words in each 2-hour class I teach.  The word “prohibit” is one of the 511 words that I teach in my ASVAB class.  The word “prohibit” is presented in 2 sentences with context clues in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Word Knowledge and Paragraph Comprehension Study Guide.  The sentences provide context clues.  Another method I use to help with vocabulary instruction is the presentation of videos where my cat presents the words in context (thanks to an app).  Do you know what “prohibit” means?  I will present Mr. Cuddles’ video tomorrow and will present the meaning of the word “prohibit”.
