The spelling of the word "constrainment" can be a bit confusing due to the various sounds. The word is pronounced as kənˈstreɪnmənt, with stress on the second syllable. The "con-" at the beginning represents the prefix meaning "together" or "with," while the "-strainment" at the end comes from the root word "constraint," meaning limitation or restriction. The addition of the suffix "-ment" indicates a noun, making "constrainment" a noun meaning the act of limiting or restricting.
