Freakin' A. Someone bought our house.
::peering suspiciously at possible house-buying lurkers::
Regarding the "inhibit" v. "prohibit" query, I have managed---with my impeccable research skills and beloved dictionary---to get to the etymological root of things. (Am *such* a geek!)
inhibit ---> Middle English inhibiten, to forbid > Latin inhibere, to restrain, forbid : in-, in [see IN-(2)] + habere, to hold [see GHABH-]
prohibit ---> Middle English prohibiten > Latin prohibere : pro-, in front [see PRO-(1)] + habere, to hold [see GHABH-]
***
IN-(2) -- in; into; within
PRO-(1) -- 1. acting in the place of; substituting for 2. supporting; favoring
GHABH- -- 4a. ABLE, BINNACLE, HABILE, HABIT, HABITABLE, (HABITANT), (HABITAT); (COHABIT), EXHIBIT, INHABIT, INHIBIT, MALADY, PREBEND, PROHIBIT, (PROVENDER), from Latin habere, to hold, possess, have, handle ( > habitare, to dwell)
