deterrent
의미: A thing that discourages or prevents someone from doing something; serving to deter.
Deterrent is used as both a noun and an adjective in legal, military, and policy contexts. In criminal justice, 'deterrent effect' refers to the idea that punishment prevents crime. In international relations, 'nuclear deterrent' describes weapons whose purpose is to prevent attack through fear of retaliation. The word implies prevention through the threat of unpleasant consequences rather than through physical barriers.
