Word origin

Unadapted borrowing from German verboten (“banned, forbidden, prohibited”). Doublet of forbidden.

Used in a sentence

  • Before that, students and professors could date whomever we wanted; the next day we were off-limits to one another—verboten, traife, dangerous (and perhaps, therefore, all the more alluring).
  • Or was it because he [Mark Zuckerberg] has since been steeped in the relentless positivity of Silicon Valley, where it is verboten to imagine a bad outcome?
