+ It is from [[inter-|t=between]] and [[dīcō]] “to say”: literally to speak in between, interpose.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ It meant to forbid, veto, as in Cicero, also to enjoin, and with a dative and ablative to prohibit someone from something, as Caesar's barring of all Gaul to the Romans.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) ''Aquā et ignī interdīcere'', “to forbid water and fire”, was the formula of outlawry, as early as Lucilius.^(OLD 2012) In law the praetor issued an interdict, an injunction, as in Cicero.^(OLD 2012) Döderlein says [[vetō]] forbids by law, ''interdīcere'' by official authority.^(Döderlein 1874)

+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant to interpose, forbid, prohibit.^(Stelten 1995) It survives in French ''interdire'' and Spanish ''entredecir''.^(Wiktionary) [[en|interdict]] came through Old French ''entredit'' about 1300, first of a Church ban.^(Etymonline)
