German lone word from old high German. It just means Forbidden.
Also just plain and simply "forbidden" in regular modern German.
Lone word?
If you ever see this lone word in the wild, run!
Normally, words hang out in larger groups called sentences or clauses. Words are social, so they like to stick together and form social bonds and hierarchies.
However, some words don’t have anyone to hang out with, and they’re called lone words.
