抑制 (yì zhì) — to suppress; to inhibit; to keep down

Définition

抑制 covers both holding back emotions (anger, urges) and checking a process (growth, spread, inflation). Against the HSK7 siblings, it is the neutral everyday term — less forceful than 压制 (stifle) and less institutional than 取缔 (ban by authority).
