Restricted
“Restricted” 指因规则、安全或版权等原因缩小可用范围。restricted area 为禁入区;restricted access 需授权;饮食 restricted diet 表示受限食谱。语气比 limited 更强调“被外部规定挡住”。

“Restrict” 来自拉丁语 restrictus(绑紧),由 re-(回)与 stringere(拉紧)构成,与 strict、constrict 同源。
restrict + -ed:动词过去分词作形容词;名词 restriction(限制)。

strict 是“严”,re- 像往回拉紧——被拉紧的就是 restricted。
