Word origin
The word 'forbid' has Old English origins, derived from the combination of 'for-' meaning 'against' or 'away' and 'bid' meaning 'to command'. Over time, the word evolved to its current usage in Middle English and has been used in the English language for centuries to indicate the act of prohibiting or preventing something.
