plural of limitation
"The new software update removed many of the performance limitations that were slowing down our workflow last week."
In plain English: Limitations are the things that stop you from doing what you want to do.
"The old computer has serious limitations when running modern software."
Usage: Limitations are the specific boundaries or restrictions that confine your abilities, resources, or actions. Use this term to describe what you cannot do rather than what prevents you from doing something in general.
Derived from the Latin limitare, meaning to set boundaries, this term originally referred to the act of marking out limits or fences. It evolved in English to denote restrictions on power, ability, or scope.
