1/9/17 The Meaning of Sanction
This word can bear opposite meanings, both as a noun and as a verb. It can mean penalty (or to penalize) <the bar association’s sanctions for commingling a client’s funds range from suspension to disbarment>, or it can mean approval (or to approve) <the charity sanctioned the fundraising event>.
Bear this in mind!
