Definition
制服 (zhìfú) is a noun meaning 'uniform' — the standard clothing worn by members of an organization (police, military, school, company). None of the listed siblings are near-synonyms; they belong to different parts of speech or semantic fields (克 is a classifier, 镇 is a verb/noun for 'suppress', 当事人 is 'party to an affair', etc.), so no contrast is needed.
