'locally-denied' originates from the combination of 'local' and 'deny', where 'local' refers to a specific area and 'deny' means to refuse or reject.

'Local' and 'deny' have been used in English since the Middle Ages, and their combination into 'locally-denied' reflects modern usage to describe restrictions specific to a region.

Initially, 'deny' meant 'to refuse', and 'local' referred to a specific area. The combination 'locally-denied' has maintained this meaning, focusing on regional restrictions.
