Origin of the word restrained

The word "restrained" originates from the Old French word "restreindre," meaning "to restrict" or "to confine." This word, in turn, comes from the Latin word "restringere," composed of the prefix "re-" (again) and "stringere" (to bind or draw tight). The meaning of "restrained" evolved from the concept of physical binding or holding back to encompass the idea of controlling oneself or one's actions, emotions, or expressions.
