          Normally, words hang out in larger groups called sentences or clauses. Words are social, so they like to stick together and form social bonds and hierarchies.

          However, some words don’t have anyone to hang out with, and they’re called lone words.

      Past participle of “bieten”, “to bid”, as in “to command”. English correspondence to that is “bidden”. The prefix is “ver-” which here denotes completative aspect as well as negativity, the English correspondence to that is “for-” (not strict, but at least in this case). Sticking both together you get “forbidden” which indeed is the right translation. “The action of commanding a negative has been completed”, or, simply, “You’ve been told not to”.
