What's the difference between constriction and restriction?

Constriction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of constricting by means of some inherent power or by movement or change in the thing itself, as distinguished from compression.
  • (n.) The state of being constricted; the point where a thing is constricted; a narrowing or binding.

Restriction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of restricting, or state of being restricted; confinement within limits or bounds.
  • (n.) That which restricts; limitation; restraint; as, restrictions on trade.

Example Sentences:
