A restriction; a bound beyond which one may not go.
A value to which a sequenceconverges. Equivalently, the common value of the upper limit and the lower limit of a sequence: if the upper and lower limits are different, then the sequence has no limit (i.e., does not converge).
Any of several abstractions of this concept of limit.
From Middle English limit, from Old French limit, from Latin līmes ("a cross-path or balk between fields, hence a boundary, boundary line or wall, any path or road, border, limit").
From Middle English limiten, from Old French limiter, from Latin līmitō ("to bound, limit, fix, determine"), from līmes; see noun.
