Confine

verb/kuhn-FYN/

Meaning

To keep something or someone within limits or a small space.

In context

The teacher asked us to confine our answers to the space provided.

Remember it

Confine holds 'fin' (end/boundary) — it keeps things inside a fixed boundary.

Use it well

Use for keeping within limits or a space; 'confine to' sets the boundary.
