plural of restriction
"The new travel regulations imposed strict restrictions on international flights during the holiday season."
In plain English: Restrictions are rules that limit what you can do or where you can go.
"The new travel restrictions mean you need to show proof of vaccination to enter the country."
Derived from the Latin restringere, this plural noun combines re- (back) with stringere (to draw tight), originally meaning to bind or confine tightly. It entered English via Old French in the late 14th century to denote limits placed on freedom of action.
