One word synonym for "without permission" [closed]
What's a one word synonym for "without permission" when pertaining to one of these (or very similar):
-
admittance or entrance
-
hunting, fishing, swimming
-
shirt, shoes, dogs etc
-
eating, drinking
Solution 1:
unauthorised/unauthorized
not having official permission or approval.
- unauthorized access to the computer system (OxfordL)
Or
without someone's official permission to do something or be in a particular place:
- Unauthorized personnel are not admitted beyond this point. (Cambridge)
However, your category of *shirt, shoes, dogs is a bit strange. I don't see how you could say unauthorised shirt, shoes or dogs... Maybe unwanted would go better, but this is a different meaning.
It seems to me that without permission can describe actions, but not persons or objects.
Solution 2:
