About

The word "限制" is formed by combining the characters "限" and "制". "限" includes the radical "阝" (hill) and "艮" (boundary), conveying a physical limit. "制" consists of "未" (not yet) and "刂" (knife), historically associated with cutting or controlling. Together, they create a compound where "限" denotes boundaries and "制" denotes imposition, resulting in the meaning "restriction" or "limit".
