Enjoin \En*join"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Enjoined; p. pr. & vb. n. Enjoining.] [F. enjoindre, L. injungere to join into, charge, enjoin; in + jungere to join. See Join, and cf. Injunction.] 1. To lay upon, as an order or command; to give an injunction to; to direct with authority; to order; to charge. [1913 Webster] High matter thou enjoin'st me. --Milton. [1913 Webster] I am enjoined by oath to observe three things. --Shak. [1913 Webster] 2. (Law) To prohibit or restrain by a judicial order or decree; to put an injunction on. [1913 Webster] This is a suit to enjoin the defendants from disturbing the plaintiffs. --Kent. [1913 Webster] Note: Enjoin has the force of pressing admonition with authority; as, a parent enjoins on his children the duty of obedience. But it has also the sense of command; as, the duties enjoined by God in the moral law. ``This word is more authoritative than direct, and less imperious than command.'' --Johnson. [1913 Webster]From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) : [ web1913 ]
