forbidden

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'contrary to orders' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'shot bond fired' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bond'+'fired'='bondfired'
'bondfired' with letters rearranged gives 'FORBIDDEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for forbidden that I've seen before include "Proscribed" , "Not allowed, banned" , "not 35 [PERMISSIBLE]" , "Disallowed, banned" , "This fruit is always more enticing" .)
