“Prohibited” means not allowed , usually by a rule, law, or official authority.

Basic meaning

  • If something is prohibited, it is forbidden or banned.
  • You will often see it on signs, like “Smoking prohibited” or “Fishing strictly prohibited.”

If a sign says “Swimming is prohibited,” it means you must not swim there.

A few quick examples

  • “Alcohol is prohibited in this area” → You are not allowed to drink alcohol there.
  • “Prohibited substance in sports” → A banned drug or chemical athletes must not use.

So, when you see “prohibited,” think: “This is clearly forbidden, and there may be consequences if I do it anyway.”

TL;DR: “Prohibited” = not allowed, banned, or forbidden by rules or law.
