遏制

• 병음: è zhì
• 한자 분석: 遏 = 辶 (movement radical) + 曷 (phonetic, why/what) — to halt forward movement; 制 = 刀 (knife) + 木 (wood) + 牛 variant — to cut and shape, hence to control

뜻

억제하다; (확산을) 제어하다

遏制 is used in geopolitical strategy (遏制扩张 — containing expansion), public health (遏制疫情 — containing an epidemic), and economic policy (遏制通胀 — curbing inflation). It implies a proactive, deliberate effort to hold back an undesirable force before it grows further.
