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]

decree; to put an injunction on.

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]
Enjoin \En*join"\, v. t.
To join or unite. [Obs.] --Hooker.
