局限 (jú xiàn) — to limit, to confine, to restrict (within set boundaries)
Definition
局限 (júxiàn) focuses on inherent, built-in limits (of scope, ability, or perspective) rather than active restriction. Compared with 限制 and 限, it implies the limit is intrinsic to the thing itself, not imposed from outside.
