prohibited
This term carries a strong sense of official authority and legal mandate. It is typically used in formal contexts, such as legal documents, signage, or official regulations, to indicate that an action is not merely discouraged but is explicitly banned under penalty of law or strict rule.
Compared to "forbidden," which can be used in personal or social contexts (e.g., "forbidden fruit"), "prohibited" is almost exclusively reserved for institutional or governmental restrictions. It implies a systemic ban rather than a personal whim or a moral taboo.
