disrecommends
Warns others off
Disrecommends means to advise against something—the opposite of recommend.
The word appears in formal or bureaucratic contexts where someone officially counsels that an action not be taken: The committee disrecommends approval of the proposal.
In casual use, it often carries a tongue-in-cheek quality, as if recommending against something requires its own verb.
