imposer une peine : Quoique attesté par le Grand Robert (mais non enregistré par d'autres dictionnaires), le verbe imposer au sens d'obliger à subir ou à faire quelque chose de désagréable ou de pénible, employé à l'égard d'une peine, d'un châtiment, d'une punition ou d'une sanction, continue de constituer un archaïsme pour la plupart des lexicographes. 1, record 1, French, - infliger%20une%20peine
