Significato
strong official order or warning
Collocazioni
an injunction to remain silent
|boss’s injunction
|official injunction
|an injunction against speaking
|follow an injunction
Sinonimi
order (More common and general; does not always carry the strong, formal, or serious tone that “injunction” has.)
|
command (Similar strength but slightly more direct and less formal; often used in military or strict settings.)
Contrari
suggestion (A weak, optional idea or piece of advice, the opposite of a strong and binding injunction.)
