Etymology
'confinement-supporting' originates from the combination of 'confinement' and 'supporting', where 'confinement' means 'the act of confining' and 'supporting' means 'providing assistance'.
'Confinement' comes from the Latin word 'confinare', meaning 'to border on', and 'supporting' comes from the Latin 'supportare', meaning 'to carry'.
Initially, 'confinement' meant 'to border on', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'restricting or limiting'.
