"Constricted" comes from the Latin word "constringere," which means "to bind together tightly." This verb itself is formed from the prefix "con-" meaning "together" and the verb "stringere" meaning "to bind, tighten, or draw together." The journey from Latin to English is a direct one. The word "constrict" entered English around the 16th century and "constricted" followed closely. The connection to binding and tightening remains the core of the word's meaning.
