Prohibit is a word with several connotations, and each has a set of synonyms, i.e., words of like meaning. And yes, prohibit is also a synonym for each of its similar words.

In one way a group of synonyms is like a class of students. Just as each student in the class can claim all the others as fellow students, so each word in a synonymous group can claim all the others in the group as its synonyms.

The word prohibit is a synonym for all these words and many more, according to context: ban, forbid, bar, blackball, declare illegal, disallow, exclude, halt, hinder, obstruct, outlaw, prevent, proscribe, restrain, restrict, shut out, suppress

And all those words are synonyms for prohibit, too.
