📖 Key Information

# Sanction **Sanction** is a linguistic phenomenon known as an **auto-antonym** (or contronym), a word that possesses two contradictory meanings depending on the context in which it is used. ### Etymology and Usage The term originates from the Latin *sanctio*, referring to a formal decree or law. In contemporary English, its meaning diverges into two primary applications: * **Permission:** In this sense, a sanction acts as official approval, authorization, or confirmation for an action. To "sanction" something is to grant it legitimacy or support. * **Restriction:** In a legal or geopolitical context, a sanction refers to a penalty, coercive measure, or punitive action intended to enforce compliance. This is most commonly seen in "economic sanctions" imposed between nation-states. ### Conceptual Distinction The dual nature of the word arises from the target of the "decree" involved: 1. **Positive Sanction:** A reward or approval for conforming to norms or rules. 2. **Negative Sanction:** A punishment or deterrent for violating norms or rules.
