the act of enjoining; a command or injunction.
From enjoin + -ment (noun suffix). This formal noun extracts the concept of enjoining into a standalone form, creating an alternative to 'enjoinder.'
Both 'enjoinment' and 'enjoinder' exist for the same concept, but 'enjoinment' follows the more productive modern pattern (like 'agreement' from 'agree'), which might explain why it appears more often in modern texts.
