Usage Note
Inhabilitado is the past participle of inhabilitar used as an adjective, and it is common in legal and political contexts where someone has been barred from holding public office or exercising a right. It differs from discapacitado ('disabled' in a physical or cognitive sense) — inhabilitado always implies a formal ruling or sanction. In sports it can describe a player who is suspended or banned.
Examples
"El político fue declarado inhabilitado para el cargo."
Natural Translation
The politician was declared disqualified from office.
