Etymology
Prohibitor comes from the Latin word prohibere, made of pro- meaning 'away' and habere meaning 'to hold', so it originally meant 'to hold away' or 'keep off'. Think of a hand or a fence holding something back; that's why a prohibitor is someone or something that stops or forbids an action.
