Etymology

Contrainte is a modern French noun that comes from the Old French **constrainte**, itself derived from Latin *constrictio* (the action of *constringere* – con‑ “together” + *stringere* “to bind, tighten”). Originally it meant a literal tightening or binding, and the sense evolved to a figurative “imposed limitation or compulsion.”
