Definition
-
"Made illegal" refers to the act of declaring or establishing a norm, activity, behavior, or substance as prohibited or against the law through the enactment of legislation, regulations, or authoritative measures. When something is deemed "made illegal," it means that its possession, use, production, distribution, or engagement has been explicitly prohibited and can result in legal consequences, such as fines, imprisonment, or other forms of punishment.
The term applies to a wide range of subjects, varying from specific actions, like drug trafficking, theft, or fraud, to broader topics like discrimination, hate speech, or environmental violations. Governments or legislative bodies often make illegal certain practices or substances in order to protect public safety, prevent harm, enforce social norms, safeguard human rights, or maintain order within a society.
The process of making something illegal typically involves passing laws or regulations that explicitly outline the prohibition and establish penalties or sanctions to deter violations. The specific consequences for engaging in activities that have been made illegal vary depending on the jurisdiction and the severity of the offense. The enforcement of such prohibitions is usually entrusted to law enforcement agencies and the judicial system.

Etymology of MADE ILLEGAL
The phrase "made illegal" is not a single word, but a combination of words. Each word, "made" and "illegal", has its own etymology.
1. The word "made" originated from the Old English word "macian", which means "to make". It has Germanic roots and is related to similar words in other Germanic languages such as German "machen" and Dutch "maken".
2. The word "illegal" came from the Latin word "illegālis", which is a combination of "in-" (meaning "not") and "lēgālis" (meaning "legal"). "Lēgālis" is derived from "lēx" (meaning "law"). Thus, "illegal" carries the meaning of "not conforming to the law" or "against the law".
