constraining

/kənˈstɹeɪnɪŋ/ noun

The act by which something is constrained.

Word Origin Constraining comes from Latin com- 'together' and stringere 'to draw tight' — literally 'binding tightly together.' The root stringere gives us stringent (tight, strict), restrict (draw back), and even strain. So constraining is pulling something tight, limiting its freedom.
