About This Root
From Latin habēre (to have, hold), appearing in compound forms as -hibit. Prefixes control the 'holding' direction: exhibit (hold out for display), inhibit (hold back, restrain), and prohibit (hold away, forbid). Each reflects a different way of controlling or presenting what one 'holds.'
