A quick definition of strict:

Strict: When something is strict, it means that it is very narrow or limited. It can also mean that it is very rigid or exacting, and that there are severe consequences for not following the rules. Sometimes, strict rules or laws require no proof of fault, meaning that even if you didn't mean to do something wrong, you can still get in trouble.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Strict is an adjective that means:

  1. Narrow or limited, as in "strict construction" which means interpreting a law or document in a narrow or literal way.
  2. Rigid or demanding, as in "strict statutory terms" which means following the exact requirements of a law or regulation.
  3. Severe or harsh, as in "strict punishment" which means a punishment that is severe or harsh.
  4. Absolute or without exception, as in "strict liability" which means being responsible for something regardless of fault or intent.

Examples:

  • A teacher who has strict rules about behavior in the classroom.
  • A company that follows strict safety regulations to prevent accidents.
  • A judge who imposes strict sentences on criminals who commit serious crimes.
  • A product that has strict liability, meaning the manufacturer is responsible for any harm caused by the product, even if they were not at fault.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of strict. In the first example, strict means narrow or limited because the teacher has specific rules that must be followed. In the second example, strict means rigid or demanding because the company must follow strict safety regulations to prevent accidents. In the third example, strict means severe or harsh because the judge imposes strict sentences on criminals. In the fourth example, strict means absolute or without exception because the manufacturer is responsible for any harm caused by the product, even if they were not at fault.
