Definition
禁绝 means 'to completely ban or eradicate' — it's a formal, emphatic verb used for total prohibition of something, often in legal, political, or social contexts. Unlike the simpler 禁止 (to forbid), 禁绝 carries a sense of thoroughness and finality, implying that the thing is not just banned but eliminated entirely. You'll see it in official documents, news reports, and discussions about eradicating harmful practices or substances.
