Usage Examples

Etymology

The French verb **limiter** comes from the Latin *limitāre* “to bound, to set limits,” derived from *limus* “edge, boundary” with the suffix *‑āre*. It entered Old French as *limitier* in the 13th c., originally meaning “to demarcate, set boundaries,” and later expanded to the modern sense of “to restrict or confine.” The form has been preserved in spelling and meaning through the Middle Ages to contemporary French.
