Definition
违禁 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to violate a ban'. The two characters can be split with 了, 过, or measure words like 次 inserted between them (e.g., 违了一次禁), though the separated form is less common in daily speech. It also frequently appears as a modifier before nouns like 品 (违禁品, contraband) or 行为 (违禁行为, prohibited act).
