- confine (v.) 1520s, "to border on, have a common boundary," a sense now obsolete, from Middle French confiner "to border; to shut up, enclose," which is perhaps from the noun confins (see confines) or from Medieval Latin confinare "border on; set bounds." Sense of "restrict within bounds, keep within limits" is from 1590s. Related: Confined; confining.
