Morphology
restrictionism = restriction (semi-transparent) = restriction + ism
Formed from 'restriction' + '-ism' which clearly indicates a doctrine or approach, but the specific legal/judicial nuance is specialized and may not be fully predictable to all learners.
Etymology
Restrictionism comes from the word restrict ('to limit') and the root strict ('tight' or 'severe'), the same idea you have in the common word strict. So, in law, restrictionism means choosing a narrow reading of rules to keep their effect limited.
