'constrictor' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'constrictor', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'stringere' meant 'to bind or draw tight'.

'constrictor' changed from the Latin word 'constrictor' and eventually became the modern English word 'constrictor'.

Initially, it meant 'one who binds tightly', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a snake that kills by constriction or a muscle that tightens'.
