制约 (zhì yuē) — to restrict, to constrain, to condition
Definition
制约 (zhìyuē) focuses on mutual or structural constraints — one factor restricting another — more abstract and reciprocal than 限制. Closer to 约束, but 制约 is typically used for impersonal forces (resources, conditions), not personal rules.
