Brit.

/rᵻˈstrɪkʃn/, U.S.

/rəˈstrɪkʃ(ə)n/,

/riˈstrɪkʃ(ə)n/

Forms: late Middle English restriccioun, 1500s restrictione, 1500s restryctyon, 1500s– restriction; also Scottish pre-1700 restriccioun, pre-1700 restrictioun, pre-1700 restruction, pre-1700 restructioun.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French restriction; Latin restriction-, restrictio.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French restriction (French restriction ) constriction, suppression of bleeding (both 1314 in Old French as restrinction ), limitation, modification (late 14th cent.) and its etymon post-classical Latin restriction-, restrictio action or fact of curbing, limitation (4th cent.), (in logic) restrictive proposition (from 13th cent. in British sources), suppression of bleeding (1363 in Chauliac) < classical Latin restrict- , past participial stem of restringere restringe v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan restriccio (14th cent, earliest in medical use), Spanish restricción (late 15th cent. as restricion ), and also Italian †ristrentione (15th cent. in the passage translated in quot. 1580 at sense 1c; compare restrizione (1673)). Compare earlier restraining n. and compare also restraint n. With medical uses compare also earlier restraining adj. and restrictory n.With mental restriction at sense 4 compare post-classical Latin restrictio mentalis (1606 or earlier) and also French restriction mentale (1657). Compare slightly earlier mental reservation n. at mental adj.¹ and n. Compounds.

†a. Medicine. The action or property of suppressing bleeding. Obsolete.

单词	restriction
释义	restrictionn. Brit. /rᵻˈstrɪkʃn/, U.S. /rəˈstrɪkʃ(ə)n/, /riˈstrɪkʃ(ə)n/ Forms: late Middle English restriccioun, 1500s restrictione, 1500s restryctyon, 1500s– restriction; also Scottish pre-1700 restriccioun, pre-1700 restrictioun, pre-1700 restruction, pre-1700 restructioun. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French restriction; Latin restriction-, restrictio. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French restriction (French restriction ) constriction, suppression of bleeding (both 1314 in Old French as restrinction ), limitation, modification (late 14th cent.) and its etymon post-classical Latin restriction-, restrictio action or fact of curbing, limitation (4th cent.), (in logic) restrictive proposition (from 13th cent. in British sources), suppression of bleeding (1363 in Chauliac) < classical Latin restrict- , past participial stem of restringere restringe v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan restriccio (14th cent, earliest in medical use), Spanish restricción (late 15th cent. as restricion ), and also Italian †ristrentione (15th cent. in the passage translated in quot. 1580 at sense 1c; compare restrizione (1673)). Compare earlier restraining n. and compare also restraint n. With medical uses compare also earlier restraining adj. and restrictory n.With mental restriction at sense 4 compare post-classical Latin restrictio mentalis (1606 or earlier) and also French restriction mentale (1657).
