Homonym: Restriction (Limitation)
Restriction refers to the limitations or controls placed on certain actions, behaviors, or access to resources. It can apply to various contexts, such as legal regulations, social norms, or personal choices. For example, laws may restrict certain activities to ensure public safety or maintain order.
In a broader sense, restrictions can also be found in everyday life, such as dietary restrictions that limit certain foods for health reasons. These limitations can help individuals make better choices or protect them from harm, but they can also lead to feelings of frustration or confinement when they feel overly burdensome.
