Definition: To summon; to call out.

Okay class, settle down now, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to summon; to call out” – is a little tricky, isn’t it? It's true that ‘banned’ can mean to invite or ask someone to do something. But when we use the word "banned," it has a different tune, you see! Think of it like this: “Banned” means to stop, to forbid, quite stern and free – To say “no way,” for all the world to decree! It’s about preventing something from being used or allowed. Like a rule, or a restriction, you understand? A book might be banned if it's too rough, a game might be banned if it's not enough. So, while 'summon' means to call someone over, ‘banned’ is all about stopping something from happening – a clever twist, don’t you think? Do you have any questions about this concept, class? Let's discuss!
