Where it comes from

Borrowed from Late Latin constrictio, constrictionis, from Latin constringo.

noun constrictions

  1. countable, uncountable The act of constricting, the state of being constricted, or something that constricts. The very structural uniqueness of Esperanto makes it hard to translate into ethnic languages – not least because many of those who write in Esperanto do so out of their rejection of the constriction that they experience when writing in their native languages.
  2. countable, uncountable A narrow part of something; a stricture. […] greatest breadth at a point about half way between the constriction and the ends […]
  3. countable, uncountable A compression.
