How to say "injunction" in Japanese
- 差し止めさしとめnounThe common word for stopping or suspending an action; it covers the legal injunction sense — a ban or suspension ordered to halt something — and everyday stops and bans too.
- nounThe loanword for the legal term itself. Less common than the native words, it is seldom the one you want unless you specifically need the English term as such.
- 諭示ゆしnoun, suru verbCovers the non-legal sense: an admonition, instruction, or message from someone in authority. Less common and never a court order, it is a marginal match for the legal 'injunction'.
- 禁止令きんしれいnounAn order that prohibits: a ban, prohibition, or interdiction. For the injunction sense it fits a prohibitory court order forbidding an act, though it is less common than 差し止め.
For the legal injunction halting an action, 「差し止め」 is the common choice, 禁止令 stresses the prohibitory order itself, 「インジャンクション」 is the loanword for the legal term, and 諭示 covers only the non-legal sense of an admonitory instruction.
