enjoined
Ordered by court
Enjoined is the past tense of enjoin, which has two nearly opposite meanings.
To enjoin someone to do something is to urge or direct them strongly: The judge enjoined the jury to disregard the testimony.
In legal contexts, to enjoin is to prohibit by court order: The company was enjoined from selling the product.
