Censor vs. Sensor vs. Censure

Censor is to prohibit free expression:

e.g. The principal censored all references to smoking in school publications.

A sensor is something that interprets stimulation:

e.g. The lights are turned on by a movement sensor.

Censure is rebuke, harsh criticism:

e.g. Vikas was severely censured for putting the frog in the water cooler.
