Jos - yes, it's one of the meanings, but only one; the other is also given in my OED (I double-checked everything in my first post against it to ensure I wasn't making a berk of meself! ;-) ). I'm not arguing that sanction doesn't mean "penalty", but you appear to be trying to argue that it ONLY means penalty. Which isn't the case; it's simply its most common usage at the moment. |
