A quick definition of restraint:

Restraint means limiting or stopping someone or something from doing something. It can be like putting someone in a time-out or not letting them do something they want to do. It can also mean stopping people from doing certain things, like saying what they want or trading in a certain way. Restraint can also mean taking away something from someone as a punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Restraint refers to confinement, limitation, or prohibition of action. It can also refer to the act of holding back.

  • A restraint on the freedom of speech limits what people can say in public.
  • The victim's family showed no restraint and told the suspect exactly what they thought of him.
  • Restraint of trade is a legal term that refers to practices that limit competition in a particular industry.
  • Forfeiture restraint is a legal term that refers to the seizure of property as a punishment for breaking the law.

The examples illustrate how restraint can take different forms and be applied in various contexts. In the first example, restraint is used to limit the freedom of speech. In the second example, restraint is not exercised, and the victim's family speaks their mind freely. In the third example, restraint of trade is used to prevent unfair competition. In the fourth example, forfeiture restraint is used as a punishment for breaking the law.
