This term carries a heavy sense of external imposition, often evoking images of boundaries, fences, or legal barriers. It suggests a forced limitation rather than a voluntary choice, typically originating from an authority figure or a systemic requirement. It is frequently used in legal, medical, or governmental contexts where compliance is mandatory. While similar to limitation, a restriction usually refers to a specific rule or a formal constraint that prohibits certain actions. A limitation might be a natural boundary of ability, but a restriction is an active barrier placed upon a subject to control behavior or ensure safety.

Countable when referring to a specific rule or law (e.g., a diet restriction). Uncountable when referring to the general state of being limited (e.g., the restriction of movement).
