[Middle English restreinen, from Old French restraindre, restreign-, from Latin restringere, to bind back. See restrict.]

restrainʹable adjective

restrainʹedly (-strāʹnĭd-lē) adverb

restrainʹer noun

Synonyms: restrain, curb, check, bridle, inhibit. These verbs are compared as they mean to hold back or keep under control. Restrain implies restriction or limitation, as on one's freedom of action: "a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another" (Thomas Jefferson). He had difficulty restraining his curiosity. To curb is to restrain as if with reins: "You might curb your magnanimity" (John Keats). Check implies arresting or stopping, often suddenly or forcibly: "a light to guide, a rod/To check the erring" (William Wordsworth). To bridle is often to hold in or govern one's emotions or passions: She tried with all her might to bridle her resentment. Inhibit usually connotes a check, either self-imposed or involuntary, on one's actions, desires, thoughts, or emotions: For the compliant child parental disapproval is as strong an inhibiting force as the threat of punishment.
