Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic въспрѣтити (vŭsprětiti). By surface analysis, вос- (vos-) +‎ прети́ть (pretítʹ).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): [vəsprʲɪˈtʲitʲ]

Verb

[edit]

воспрети́ть (vospretítʹpf (imperfective воспреща́ть)

  1. to forbid, to prohibit (with person being prohibited in dative case)

Usage notes

[edit]

The verb воспрети́ть (vospretítʹ) is often described as dated, while its past passive participle is still often used and holds a firmer, more official meaning than that of запрети́ть (zapretítʹ), connoting a more inviolable rule that cannot be questioned.
